I tried congee!!!! So my flight to Ho Chi Minh was cancelled and I have had the grand pleasure of hanging out in the Hong Kong Airport! My flight for Taipei, I'm living Gaga's dream by going to Taiwan, leaves at midnight and then will take a plane from there to Saigon, just making my flight to Hanoi....if no more cancellations.
Surprise surprise, no one has curly hair here. Oh and congee is a savory soup that is in between malt o'meal and cream of what with chicken on the bone dropped in. So I got to try more of my ever so delicate chop sticking slimy meat, chewing off the meat in my mouth and then spitting the bone back into my bowl; I think I do it extrememly well for someone with curly hair.

Hmmm already an adventure! I tried to text you before you left but your phone must have already been off so it will be a welcome home text. Remember to ride everywhere you can in a people cart, and don't forget the whip. Keep your eye out for my magic wish monkey fist and taxidermy tiger. I'll be waiting by the mail box.
ReplyDeleteStill in Hong Kong at the airport. I dont know why you would want taxidermy over silk pajamas or why didnt you ask for a gigantic shank knife that i have to hide in my hair through every custom stop just to bring it back to you.
ReplyDeleteYou have to try the congee with the thousand year old egg. Don't worry, it is supposed to have that sickly greyish/black look to it. Looking forward to living vicariously through you the next two months (and no that is not a twin/same person joke). Still in airport....think of this as adventure #1!
ReplyDeleteIf today is Tuesday, this must be Belgium! Or at least, Macau or Shanghai.
ReplyDeleteWe're rooting for you!

Hola Chinita! I bet the locals are curious about your ethnicity. You're so exotic! Next time you have congee don't forget to suck the bones. That's where the favor is. Beijos!
ReplyDeleteSuch an exciting trip thus far! I think you've inspired me to try a Congee restaurant near me - I will be sure to spit the bones back into the soup wile still remaining elegant at the same time. Curly haired people unite!
