My nap turned into 6 hours, so it's 11:30 pm here and I figured instead of getting dinner; I would write y'all. First off, I have not taken a pic yet. So tomorrow on my first day of foot travel, I will take many and finally try my hand at uploading them.
Second, I'm actually not a huge fan of congee. My shrimp spring rolls I had today for lunch were so much better (there was even a bit of bolognie pate inside, so French!)
Thirdly, I have gotten lots of questions centered on my ethnicity. When I say I'm american, then think I'm lying. "But Americans dont have curly hair", so I will start making up a new ethnicity for myself. Since Rosana doesn't have curly hair, I cant be brazillian. So I might have to go with Irish, a la Riverdancians because they all have curly hair.
Finally, I hear I missed out on the Guiness Book of REcords for the longest flight time or time in transit...and that is a shame. Because freaking christ, i dont think you would find someone who complained less due to the delays, couldnt have been happier to sleep on the floor of an airport in Taiwan, and was generally just out of it towards the end....but that state of spacy euphoria will probably never happen again. Next time, I will be a hot mess demanding where is my dark coffee, why are there so many screaming babies on this flight am I on a little country bumpkin bus, and who drank all the bad light beer on board?

This is my second try at googling you-now-soooo glad you're there and got some rest on a real bed! I think I know the trick to downing congee-a bottle of kombucha ! Actually you have some Irish in you. My dad was English/Scotch-Irish; I thought he was just ornery! Love you lots xoxoxomom
ReplyDeleteBologna Pate! Sounds interesting, maybe you can find a cookbook on the subject!! Let the games begin.

Oh, please, give me a break with all this French crap! You're in Asia! Next time they ask you where you from please say you're from Brazil. They will love you even more. Who doesn't love Brazil and Brazilians? :-)
ReplyDeleteI didn't know Irish had curly hair. Not the ones I met... just like the NY jews. No curly hair in that part of the planet.
It's very exciting to hear your news, Virginia. Have a fabulous day tomorrow!
XOXO,
Rosana
