Sorry, sorry, sorry
Sorry I haven't updated lately. Sometimes I forget. Anyway not much has really happened. The new guy (whom we call Matty Stix b/c we already have a Matt upstaris) is settling in nicely. Friday night we decided to have a jam session. Matt brought his guitar with him and is a very good guitar player. Well we had a blast. Matt and Patrick were playing and Annaick and I were singing. It was definitely the kind of thing that we agreed we had to do on a regular basis.
Saturday
Well I can't really remember what happened on Saturday. The day started like any other I guess. At one point in the afternoon I decided that I had had enough sitting around and watching tv. I was going to go out and get some chao kao (this is lamb on a stick. It's done like shishkabob almost and can be very spicy. I love this stuff, it's very good) and I invited Matt to go out with me. I figured it was his first weekend in China and he might like to go out and see some stuff.
So I get to the chao kao place which is in the area that I call mini walking street. There are alot of restaurants and shops that have booths along the street and you could get anything you pretty much want. Anyway, so we get there and I satisfy my chao kao fix and we walk around for a bit. Then Matt decides that he wants to go drinking. So we go to this restaurant I know and get a couple beers each. Now this chinese beer is very very lite. I have to drink atleast 3 of them just to get a buzz and about 6 of them to really start to feel drunk.
Matt, on his second beer was quite the drunk individual. I couldn't believe it. Now mind you, Matt is about 6'2'' - 6'3'' and weighs about 80lbs soaking wet, But I still couldn't believe it. Anyway, on his trip to the bathroom he met up with this chinese guy FayFay that told him to come by the near by bar. I knew the bar myself. It was the place I was taken to on my first night out in China. I figured, sure. I wasn't doing anything anyways and what was I in a hurry to get home for? My spot on the couch? My bed? NO no, not on a Saturday night. So we partied at the bar/club. Had a few more beers and partied with FayFay. I danced on the pole and Matt told me about a million times that he loved FayFay. After a million and one times I knew it was time to go. I had just started buzzing and Matt was very drunk. Funny stuff. We got home around midnight and that was about it or me.
Sunday
My day started off once again like any other. I made it a point that I would get through cleaning my room that day. I was determined. It had to happen. I had put it off for way to long. Just as I started, Patrick asked me if I would go with him to the hospital. He had to get some blood tests done and a CT scan. I knew he would need the help so I said I would. Well long story short, I'll try to provide in point form:
- go to one floor to let them know what you have to have done
- then go downstairs to pay for it
- then go back up to have it done
- go to another building to let them know what you have to have done
- find the building diserted
- go to another building
- get told to go back to the first one
- find the guy
- tell him what you have to have done
- go back to the first building to pay
- come back to him
- get the test done
- go to the first building again
- see a doctor
- get told that the specialist should look at it
- get told that the specialist can't come now
- get sent to yet another building
- have the specialist's student look at you
- then finally get to go home
Needless to say it was a very long day. We were there for about 5 hours and poor Patrick hadn't eaten anything since he wasn't supposed to for the blood tests, so he was very hungry. I hadn't had breakfast either so I was quite hungry. We decided that chao kao was the dinner of choice and after leaving the hospital that where we went. Back to mini walking street. He hung out there for a couple hours. Ate about 30 sticks o chao kao between us. Then on our way home, whenever we stopped at a booth, people would crowd around us just to see what we were doing or saying. There was this one booth that sold wool clothing. All types. Pants, sweaters, leather jackets, wool jackets, whatever. On passing the guy tied to get our attention to bring us over. I was curious to see what he was showing (the crowd slowly forms). He started to show me some pants (the crowd comes in more) Then I looked at the pants and noticed that there was no way my fat ass was gonna fit in those pants (now the crowd really comes in) I gave him a look like "I don't know. This won't fit me" and the I started to slap my ass. Basically to indicate that it is there and I wouldn't be able to buy his product because it isn't made or me. hey all started to laugh (including the crowd). Then he picked up a pair and stretched them in the hip area to show me that they stretched. I laughed and so did the crowd. I like to entertain them sometimes and they seem to like it to. I told him that I would be back again and gave him the you-better-have-something-to-fit-me-next-time look. I slapped my ass again in parting and even Patrick laughed.
After that we headed home, I actually cleaned my room and helped Patrick clean his. Then we watched a movie and all went to bed.
Inclosing of this entry I'd like to say trick or treat and Happy Halloween to everyone. I'm missing a halloween bash this year but I know that there would be more to come and I can always make it up next year.
