Adventure With Sis 2

Friday, November 30, 2007
I just stayed home today. I wanted to rest because my legs hurt, but not my sis. She went shopping again and came home with more toys!

Anyway, yesterday we were in China and went to The Venetian in Macau. The place looked amazing! But we had a funny experience on our way there. We were always in a hurry to catch the bus, the ferry and the train, everything here is timed which I think is good. Now I know how it feels like to join the amazing race. We went around the place and at dinner time we ate at the Red Dragon Noodle Restaurant right in the middle of The Venetian Casino. I ordered fishball noodle broth which sounded yummy. I felt so embarrassed when I started eating it, the flat noodles kept falling off my chopsticks! What I could have normally eaten in 15 minutes, took me almost an hour to finish. The noodles were so slippery. Now I know what those long strands of bean sprouts were for - to catch those slippy noodles. I ate them all first and left the noodles. Ha! Everybody there spoke to us in Cantonese which we didn't understand, not a single word! And they said they thought we were from there because we looked like the locals.

After dinner, we went around a little more until it's time for the bus to bring us back to the turbo jet's terminal to go back to Hong Kong. We got home at around 11 p.m.

I can just imagine! Usually I can use chopsticks pretty well but it sounds like the noodles would've been slippery for me too...

Too funny. I think you did much better eating with those chopsticks that I would have. It sounds like you guys had an adventurous day today. I am glad you got a little time to rest.

Is your mom there with you? Or is it just yourself, your sister, and Aunt Rosalina?

Have a great weekend.

Mmm, the soup sounds delicious.

My daughter loves to experiment with chopsticks. She bought some fancy ones she saw in passing and uses them at home. She tired, I repeat, tried to teach me how to use them but alas I failed miserably.

Sound like you are having a wonderful time with your sister.
It would do me wonders if I ate with chop sticks I actual eat to fast.
