China: day 2

, , No Comments
seems like we did a lot today but really, we didn't do that much lol
after waking up in the middle of the night to a swollen face,
got woken up again in the morning because mum bought a new bunk bed for us to sleep on

breakfast was cheung fun and jung.
SO. GOOD. FJDLSKAFJ;ASLFAS

after brekkie, me and littlebro ended up sleeping on the sofa again as the bed people came in with the bed and set it up
they got red pockets for the trouble (asian equivalent of a tip)
and mum almost forgot to pay them

then it was off to yumcha...somewhere. i don't even know where.
we got the 1RMB bus over. there's a walmart and starbucks there. yay americanisation!
yum cha was really good. they had a really good newyear cake with crispy skin

after yumcha we went to the lower level were the ~galaxy world was
spent an hour sucking at basketball and playing the punching bag (i.e. where you just punch the punching bag as hard as you can)
highlight was when we set the strength to superior human and both cousin and littlebro scored 550+ and then mum had a go and she scored 5.
then we set it to super human and isaac got 180+ and then i got 5. and then cousin laughed at me and he scored 5 so FAIL FOR YOU COUSIN.

after that, we walked over to triad uncle's ~farm
which was super dodge, you had to kind of unlock this door that lead to a kind of junkyard
walking through the junkyard you came to this random place with an ~open kitchen (kind of like woodfire?)
and there were random fruit trees all over the hood

at this point i feel like giving up blogging because i need to westernise all these chinese terms =.=

highlight here was meeting the new puppies. SO CUTE.
i guess another highlight was watching them make pig red (i.e. pig's blood in jelly form)

then as evening came upon us, and dinner time!
it was outside and it seriously felt like the countryside.
we had two tables. our table was for the woman and non-drinkers. ate chinese delicacies like...chicken and then everything pig. like pig intestines and stuff. hectic. hotpot style.
then they made littlebro drink chinese whiskey (i.e. chinese rice wine)
i literally took a lick of it, and it burnt my entire mouth. ECK. also, it smells like chinese sausages lol.
we also had the best asian meatballs ever. handmade and super fresh and bouncy.

highlight one happened here:
someone was like...yeah, it's so bouncy that if you bounce it on the table it'll bounce.
and we're all like yeahyeah whatever. everyone says that.
but then cousin went ahead and it actually bounced three times. LOOOOOOOOOOOOL.

highlight two:
triad uncle was trying to teach isaac ~ways to get around socialising drinking and avoid getting drunk
apparently the key is to identify the strongest drinker of the group and scare them so that no one dares verse you in drinking
the way to do this is to just straight-up drink three shots and pretend it totally doesn't affect you
we were all ears until he went back to the drinking table and we kept hearing people do three shots
loooooooooool i guess it doesn't work if everyone uses the same strategy

after dinner, we left all the asian men and heavy drinkers and made our way to the nightclub district
i have a feeling a certain type of person goes there, i.e. seedy men but cos triad uncle took us we thoguht it was alright
got a foot massage and....SO MUCH PAIN. but i kept quiet. BUT SO MUCH PAIN.
the mando was so strong i had so much trouble understanding, that they did the chiro unlock before i could say no.
i felt like i got broke in half.

now i'm finally home.
and my face is still swollen.
sigh.

mum's mahjonging with cousin and aunty. me and isaac are on laptops.
time for bed?
