Happy Birthday!
I'm back alive!
The scenery was nice, especially the mountains with tops smothered in clouds. When I looked up at the sky, I could see the lovely layers of clouds, each layer at least several km away from one another.
My grandparents are really cool. At ages 84 and 85, they can still play mahjong, wear a wig, drink sarsi and eat fried chicken. Apparantly, Ah Gong loves fried chicken! Ah Ma gave me a jade pendant. Now, I'm not really a fan of jade, but maybe it'll interest me in 50 years.
May I also add that "Bird's Nest Soup" is horribly disgusting?!
I'll never go near that stuff again.
Ah Sim has good taste, man. The guy she married (who's my uncle) has nice arms.
Anyway, this uncle of mine helped me with the leech-catching. He spent hours looking for them, and they're really cute. They have stripes on their backs. I'm worried about the dirty bottle they're in, though. It seems awfully disgusting. Low standard of living, absolutely no sanitation. They are clinging desperately to the inside wall of the plastic bottle. I hope the "Cash-Converter" has an appropriate tank for this kind of wildlife. They can squeeze through any small gap, and if they do they'll be crawling up your leg next. They'll chase after you if you try to run.
Pesky little creatures.
Next on my list will be that mini-pot of Venus Flytraps they're selling at $12 at the nursery. Maybe I'll feed them meat. Chicken, perhaps?
In 1-2 days I'll be off to Yunnan, China. Don't know what I'll see there. Never been a big fan of China, so hopefully this will be an interesting trip. I'll be back just in time for Chew's birthday, so that's good.
Can't wait for the steamboat.
