A little bit of happiness everyday

10th anniversary for the centre so far away, you get no reception on your mobile.
Little kids beating drums for the celebration.
Traditional dance by aunties, Shamisen performance by more aunties and a good-looking man.
Some speech by a foreigner who got married and stayed on for 18 years.
Not that I expected some really serious, insightful talk or something along that line,
but I guess I was just bored with the usual stuff they want to hear from a foreigner's mouth.
And don't get me started on the questions they asked. God.
"Do you have arguments with your husband/mother-in-law?"
"How should I discipline my children?"
Like HUH????? ...... Nevermind....
Anyway, I was half asleep for the whole thing except for the shamisen.
Really, I was more interested in the music than the man. Really. The guy was just a plus.

"Have-a-chat-with-the foreigner-while they-try-to-eat" dinner was on.
I know how uncomfortable she must feel. And hungry.
Anyway, I was glad the spotlight weren't on us, we ate, drank, talked, drank, ate, drank, drank, drank....
Well, you get the idea.
And the Drunk Director got us to do self-introductions to expose our alien identities.
The alcohol made me do a little dance while I talked. It went into my legs.
I was still able to win a game at pool and play table tennis.
Although I admit both Rui and I weren't the best players.
So I wasn't drunk, ok?

Cosmos flowers in full bloom.
Beautiful. I can't think of anything else to say.
Watch out for my pictures. Will post them soon.
Ha, we even went go-kart-ing.
I think the go-karts are pretty big. Not like the ones I've seen before.
I suppose it's to make them safe.
Didn't go fast. I didn't even step on the brakes once throughout the course.
But since it was my first time, I was pretty excited. :)

We spent the whole day out. Me and Rui in Edachan's little green March.
Well, it's better than being in Xiaomu's Jeep where an auntie wouldn't shut up.
Even Edachan's aware of her powers.
During the 2 days, I was the 1st sacrifice, Edachan's 2nd, etc.. Hahahha.

Told both offices that I want to go home for the New Year in February.
No problems at the moment.
I'm now trying to get a cheap ticket. Maybe 2 weeks.

A little happiness everyday :)
