More from our Oriental Outing

Our Olympia to the Orient on a budget outing was great fun. Before we were finished, we bought a big bag of hot roasted chestnuts to snack on on the way home. Mav and Tman bought their weight in oriental candy and She just had to buy more of those nasty salty sour sweet little dried prunes. We brought back new cups for the grand girls who recently broke theirs. We found a new anime movie--the Cat Returns, that I swear features momcat, the fatty in the catpile from the office. Only this one was called Moota. We looked at Sake sets and bought cooking tongs and more chopsticks and lots of vegetables. This great dragon mask was in the rafters at Uwajimaya along with a whole lion dancing costume, rickshaws, hats, and lots amazing relics. Squid, canned in ink. What can I say? Glad plastic girls don't eat because squid is about as chewy as plastic!
Ah the rare and reportedly delightful Durian fruit. Bigger than a barista. Supposedly, when they are ripe and sliced they smell worse than garbage, dog poop and barf. Why would you put something with that sort of smell in your mouth? Luckily these were intact.
Now, we are talking BOSS ESPRESSO with a boss barista! woo hoo! Anyone for a coconut milk latte?
