11 4-star Dim Sum..Ahhh

5/19/09 Dim Sum

Eggs in the morning, holy fucking hung over. First time I ever “slept in” (8 AM, hah) late.

When we were bumming around, suddenly while I was about to upload pic’s to facebook, Sammie goes LETS GO! Huh?

Dim sum apparently with the uncle..nothings really ever planned, its funny and silly depending on the day.

I keep telling Sammie to stop picking at her skin that’s peeling..

Excellent Dim Sum, I spent 495.000, which was ~$28, my treat to the little cousin, Uncle and Sammie. Excellent thick and rich Jasmine tea.

Everything there was ~1/2 off of normal Dim Sum, but we were in a beautiful white-table cloth place overlooking the city. Air conditioned (thank the lord), plates were changed out every so often, and the Dim Sum (like everything in Vietnam) is very fresh.

The lunch hotpot was great…very heavy (too much almost) Ginger sauce, with raw meats of slivers of steak which just melted in your mouth after 20-30seconds in the pot (More like a large hot-plate). Had octopus (the only time I’ve EVER enjoyed octopus was here in Vietnam) and squid.  Man I need to lay off the shell-fish…

I am also FAILING epically at rolling egg rolls….they are really Rice rolls, with rice paper which you first dip into water, place veggies / pineapple (lovely, then meat a bit of noodles, wrap and go.

I got only a SINGLE roll, I was a mess :D

Sammie forced me “as the guest” to finish off all that foot, ACHHHHH talk bout hurt guts, it was all that Ginger and shellfish..but I wasn’t doing to hot for an hour or two.

Now uploading pictures and shit..good times.

Tried to download wordpress.org, the MySQL / higher techie shit to run wordpress offline, so I could compile these.  I realized belatedly, after some fun tweaking and installation, that this is only for HOSTED web-blogs (like domain.com, vs domain.wordpress.com), so it was worthless.

Still need to figure out if I’m going to include my 1) currency war, 2) hookah 3) xlrambling all rolled into one.

Hookah needs a separate website, as the content will be SEO / SEM orientated (ala weekly / daily articles, downloadable PDF’s, cross-industry links, affiliate partners etc), which may just deluge this own blog..yes, this blog should be my trips, rambling and philosophical debates :D

Going to get beer…Here’s a conversation with my partner in crime…

Off to get beer, stop picking your face Sammie!

IM UGLY

You only notice it when you hold your hand over it

NO IM GROSS IM PEALING

Beauty isn’t measured in the 2” circle on your damn forehead, unless your Tyra Bank’s with her huge real estate….

NO IM NOT GOING

Well I’m not buying beer, fuck it.

FINE ILL GO

….and so it goes…hahaha

We both got murdered again by bugs, Sammie moreso..since my blood is unpalatable (healthy I SAY!), I typically just use the bug spray AROUND my bed / the entrances (of which have a 1/3” space between the outside and my interior domain anyway)…so I’ve been decent.

18 bites on my left foot, from the left, through the right

Looks like she’s a damn plague carrier! (“Fuck you” she says in retort :D)

Bummed around with the dog, had some ciggie’s…etc.

333 Beer, 555 Ciggies

Damn dog only let me pet him twice “Lem,” Otherwise insecure and snappy (gets lightly smacked around randomly..no wonder the dog gets confused)

GOT MAH DAMN PAJAMA’S! Silk type material, but it really felt “hot.” Maybe because it was made kinda tight (though custom), and the shirt is incredibly feminine, so unlike my previous plan of wearing it all over town (yes, I would), i’ll need to buy a different shirt which doesn’t look (EXACTLY) like the women’s over here :D Nice of them to do so as well, $10 ftw.

Pool!

7-2-2. P-S-J.

I finally starting shooting good, and just got mauled by the uncle, he was 7, Sammie 2, me 2. Though I was zero for a while. I really didn’t care to play pool really, I can do that in the US, and I had been doing nothing all day anyway..but it was a good time. Watching the uncle yelling at the pool girls to re-rack the sucker…that’s a nice little perk, no racking.

But, it doesn’t help the *RACK IT BITCH” tradition me and whammer have, fuck it.

Stop picking your face Sammie..

After that we…
