China? China.

Two buffalo walked along lazily, an old man tagging along behind, occassionally flogging them. This view outside my car window is typical of the countryside in China right? Wait. Then the buffalo walked past a DVD and VCD rental shop. Outside the shop was two American pool tables and a few kids shooting some pool there. I was like WHAT???

Haha. The countryside plus technology and a little money gives you strange results. I'm sitting in the living room of my godma's other god daughter whilst they hit the mahjong table. The god daughter's husband being incredibly busy killing mosquitoes with an electric fly swatter. I only realise now that's more fun to be the swatter than the audience. It's DAMN LOUD lah. I think their allowed voltage is higher.

Food is much cheaper here, as I realised eating at a beef steamboat place where you pay thirty odd Sing dollars and you feed four people so full beef is coming out from their nostrils. They also have WalMart here. PLUS I think it's damn cool that they don't have much coins. They have FIFTY CENTS NOTES. Wth.

Well surprisingly I'm quite enjoying my Swatow trip, and I got to visit my roots for once. I think I'd come back again.

I'm goooooing to where Teochew people came from on Saturday. Haha. The horrors of riding on a coach ALONE to China. grrr. I heard it takes about six hours. I would charge my mp3 player to the MAX. If not, I would die on that bus.
