Oops, wrong country. Not in China. If you do get water, it's served warm (sometimes even hot). This here is noodle water - the water that they cooked their noodles in. It's served in a small fairly shallow dish. You drink right out of the dish. But hey, you say, the dish is chipped! Well, that's actually a good sign. It means the dish is old and has been around a long time. Who wants to get served in a new dish?? The theory behind drinking the warm water is that your body is warm - it's a shock to the body to drink cold water and hence not good for you... Who's to say?? Anyways, the noodles in this particular restaurant were good!
We've got 2 weeks left before the AP exams. I am counting the days. I can't wait until the seniors are gone (they leave right after the AP tests).
We had nice weather all week and then this weekend it rained. I used the opportunity to catch up on the series Justified. It's all over now... I really enjoyed it for the past 6 seasons... The title of this blog is a reference to one of the last lines said in the final episode - kind of an ode to the memories of experiences shared in younger days...
I must have at least 10 books lined up on my Kindle to read. Maybe when things slow down at school I'll make some headway on it.
My Chinese buddy Sky is getting married this summer. The date was originally at the end of July, but then he realized that none of his western friends would be able to make it. So he just moved it up to July 6 (our last school day is July 4). So I'll get my first experience at a Chinese wedding. It was a nice gesture to move the date up - I know his future in-laws weren't too excited about it!
Well, I've mopped the floors, did the laundry and dishes, and just came back from the grocery store. Time to break out the Kindle!
