Success!!!! As you can see from the picture below, we found cleaner with Bleach! And Raid! (Or something to that effect...close enough, anyway.)
A couple of weeks ago, we were able to spend some time in the big city (about an hour away). We were fortunate enough to encounter Starbucks (I can't tell you how much better it tastes in a country that currently imports ALL of their coffee - seriously, it is so hard to find any coffee here). We were a little amazed to find that Starbucks adapted to the local culture by selling moon cakes in honor of Mid-Autumn Festival.
Why, yes...I believe that green tea moon cake is sporting our favorite mermaid (shh...don't tell Ariel)!
After the Starbucks run, we encountered a good deal of Engrish. As an English teacher, it's tempting to be dismayed by the rampantly inappropriate use of the language. However, I find it much more refreshing to have a laugh instead. Here are some fun examples:
Ah, yes. Taking the escalat is so convenient when you need an elevator from.
People really would be so much healthier if they would simply quit burning.
I believe this is exactly what Andy Warhol envisioned his artwork would one day become.
That poor mouse...he's now known as just "Ickey."
Finding the good and the humor in daily situations are a few of the things that keep me sane, especially when I miss the convenience of the states. What are some coping mechanisms you rely on?
I love "ickey"
