Food and stuff

Think I chewed on a chicken head a bit. I wondered "what's this pointy bit of bone" then realized it was probably a beak. Ew. Oh well.

Starting to get quite tired of the food here. Been over 3 weeks of buffet breakfast and restaurant lunch and dinners. Doesn't seem to be that much variety. Well, there sortof is, and sortof isn't, if you know what I mean. Many choices, but all similar style. I was quite happy to find a "hong kong cafe" the other day, and then another day found something resembling italian pasta.

Most of the alley was closed on saturday night, but a couple places (happening to be the places I wanted) were open... After the late dinner, I saw a few of the people playing cards. Went over to take a look, it was Dominoes. After a couple rounds, I joined in with them. It was quite fun. don't really need the same language for that, though sometimes a couple rules are hard to understand. One guy was really animated, kept pointing at the other guy and giving the thumbs down with a frown, then bursting out laughing. Probably I can go there another evening.

I met someone named Eka. Then I met someone named Eca. Then when I tried to meet Eca in the mall, there was someone waiting but didn't quite look like Eca but noone else was there so I talked to her, and found she was Esa. Feels like someone's playing a trick on me.

Overall the days have not been too interesting recently.

now that you've worked for what? 5 years or so, how many long haul trips can you make for free with all your airmiles that you've accumulated???

Don't you love it when they all have similar (or the same) names?

As it stands a good friend of ours is called Jesper, my brother-in-law's friend is called Jesper, and I have two cousins-in-law who are also named Jesper.

Thankfully, in my case, they all speak English, however at least two of those Jespers have the same last name as I do.
