RANDOM THOUGHTS BY KIM MARSCH 🙂

This might not be exciting to read, but I thought some of it interesting/funny/different and I want to share it and remember it.
~A lot of restaurants serve warm water because it is better for digestion.
~In Hong Kong, if you are angry at someone and want to put a curse on them, you can go to a place under a bridge where old hags (not a nice name) or witches will put a curse on that person for a fee. Wowsers!
~Right before the Hong Kong light show was going to start- our crew was pretty exhausted. I told maddux to look at the building that resembled a huge purple illuminated egg. He said “I don’t care!!!” Alrighty then!
~We’ve met many people who think they know Americans- they say that we all like war/guns, drinking alcohol and beaches. Funny.
~We were all so hungry in the middle of a long bus trip- We stopped at a market for a bathroom break and food stop. I saw these chicken things that looked like little pot pies or something. I ordered 3. Jesse bit into one and said “it’s like there are bits of carpet in it.” Gross! It looked exactly like brown shag carpet and it had no flavor what-so-ever. We bought some Pringles. A much safer choice!
~I wish I could do a commercial for Sea Bands. They are pressure point bracelets that keep you from getting sick on planes, trains, boats, etc. They work like a dream!
~I don’t know how I lived my life before kids with the daily usage of wipies. I could do a commercial for those, too.
~There are some beautiful birds, flowers and insects around these parts. I saw a blue bird that was so magnificent… I thought of Grandma Choody (Antie Yvonne’s mom.) She loves birds!
~Seatbelts – sometimes they’re available, sometimes they’re not.
~We love seeing motorcycles with whole families on them, especially little babies smushed between the mom and dad.
~Some hotels and restaurants know that tourists are frequently looking for places with wi-if service so they put signs up that say they have it. Then you ask for the pass code and they say “no wi-fi here. So sorry.” The people are so nice, it’s hard to be the least bit mad.
I have to put some more pictures on the blog – my times to do it are few and far between and by the end of the day- I am pooped! The huts we’re at now say that they have wi-fi, you just have to find the good spots. Everyone is sleeping right now so I am out by the beach typing away. I just washed a bunch of clothes in the sink and hung them everywhere in our room and outside to dry. Tomorrow we will do some hiking, snorkeling and have a well-deserved day of hanging on the beach. We’ve been on the road a lot!
