May 30th: shorts shopping and ghetto quesadillas
[ posted by mcdeviltoast ]
Day 256
Caught up on blogging, watched "Cat's Eye." Had a peanut butter and banana sandwich for lunch. Rode home, showered, rode back to do some shopping with Jeni.
I tried in vain to find a decent pair of shorts. They have the concept all wrong here. They are too long and too tight; basically capris for men. Ugh. I might have to make my own with some scissors. We hit up several places along the main thoroughfare: shoes, Chinglish shirts, etc. We took a French fry break, wound back around and then took a cab back to the middle school.
For dinner, Mike, Heather, and I had flour tortillas with cheese (cheddar and pepper jack) and salsa, microwaved for a minute. To an American in situ, this may sound like nothing, but in China all the ingredients are highly exotic, hard to come by, and collectively garfed our dining funkel. I will never again take for granted this simple pleasure, taste and texturewise. After two days of not eating Chinese food, my stomach has not felt distended. Strong correlation suspected.
Rhys and Jeni came and watched "Robots" with us. After, I had a steam to allow for breathing: cheese had stuffed me up considerably. Then came sleep, the nightly visitor, always welcome.
