After writing blog posts, I’d remember something silly or
funny that happened that I didn’t include …..
In China and some in Thailand, Mcdonalds would have the
actual restaurant and then generally in front, there would be a small McDonalds
kiosk dedicated to the desserts of Mc-ie-des…soft serve included. Pretty convenient
for those soft serve addicts that just want their fix of ice cream—they don’t
have to deal with the crowd inside. In Shanghai there was one such set up;
however, the dessert kiosk played music constantly. The same song. It was like
a stationary ice cream truck. I think it played it is a small world. Heavens
bless the employees. i would die.
One night we were walking back to our hotel from the metro.
Generally there are people selling various items, one night a man was selling
puppies. Cori and I were severally tempted and decided that we couldn’t get one
through customs…like that was our biggest worry… customs… never mind the entire
trip to Thailand or you know the month and a half I had in India…or all the
logistics involved in having a puppy…those were not legitimate enough…..
China and Thailand love J. Beibs. It is kinda crazy. I never
really heard any American music while in china except the beibs. Asia has
beiber fever. Unfortunately.
Under the metro in Shanghai there is this mall type thing…except
it is Asian. So it is full of neon colors mostly bright pink, tiny animals with
big eyes, and all sort of cutesy things. We decided to take a look around, but
it soon became a maze of all things Asian. Trying to get out was hard because
the exit signs just pointed us to a neon arcade room. We were suck, never to
escape the pink Asian world; finally we made it out and back up to street
level. Pretty sure we had just visited another dimension that we’d prefer never
to go back to…
At breakfast in Chiang Mai, our hotel played an awesome
American soft rock cover cd. My personal favorite was the Bangles – Eternal
Flame. What a way to start the day.
Lesson Learned- don’t lean against trees in the jungle…there
are ants on them.
