Phil and Red's Excellent Adventure

Ah. Well, lets see. Woke up this morning around 8. I went to bed at like 10 last nite cause I was dead tired again, it was raining, and I dont know many people yet. This morning, Peter made a crapload of pancakes for all of us in the house, me, Moses (a dude from Virginia) and his wife Amy (from Henan). It was Amy's first taste of pancakes and she enjoyed them. So, afterwards, I chatted to a few of you online before you went out to party @ Luna...aiya, i miss partying at Luna, such a fun club. I proceeded to work a little bit on some DVD work. I then got ready to go practice some martial arts on the roof, i need to get a foto of the roof view, btw. However, there was still water everywhere so scratch that idea. So, Peter and I decided to go out and play some Snooker.
Snooker is an interesting game. Basically, its a pool table, only twice the size with narrower pockets. First, we played a round of regular billiards. Then we played about 4 games of snooker. Quite interesting. We also got some of the "snooker attendents" to play with us. Its odd, places of business around here have lots of people employed, but most of them do nothing, stand around waiting to help, or Just haning out. At the snooker place they were doing this because there wasn't that many patrons at 1pm. Its quite normal apparently. We - Peter and others - think there is something to do with the amount of people there are, the more the government gives them a break. So, we were testing our Mandarin and Cantonese on these attendees and they just laffed at us. Its funny, when we try to speak their language, they laff at us. But when they try to speak are language and do a bad job, we don't laff. Something needs to be done here! Maybe a back of the hand will give them something to think about. LOL! just kidding.
So, i had something to eat while i was there. A UFO sandwich. I thought this was gonna be something "outta this world!" But no...it was just a ham and cheese sandwich melted together by one of those waffle maker thingys. Then, i needed to use the bathroom. I mean, I really needed to. But, when I came to el bano, i was dismayed. I thought this place may have a western style bathroom, but all they had was two foot pads and a hole in the floor. First off, I lost all the need to go when I almost tripped over it. The idea of this as a toilet just amazes me. I mean, you squat...how can you be sure you don't...spill it on your pants or sox or miss. I mean, never having to use this set up before, my accuracy can't be good at all. Anywho. We finished snooker and went off to do other things. Like buy a fone.
We went and grabbed one of our Chinese contigents from the Bond office, Owen. Basically, we needed him to negotiate the phone card, which contains the calling plan and the payment. Chinese fones are like this. They have the main fone and battery, which, after purchased, are basically useless without this little card that fits below the battery. This card contains your fone number and your entire calling plan. So, if you lose this card or break it, your fone is useless until you buy a new one. Luckily, they aren't that expensive, 100 kwai. 100 kwai = $11US. So, after a cool taxi convoy, which i got a mini-movie of that I will try to post, we went around shopping. I gots me a fone now. We then hit up the grocery store and headed back to the house. We are about to go get some dinner. Bye for now.
