White Fire Hydrants?!

Well I'm home now, my car is finally fixed, my backyard needs a Paul Bunyan and his axe, my hair is finally cut, and jet lag still haunts me.

In anycase I was driving to some electronics liquidators to buy a PDA phone (no luck), and I saw something that surprised me.... white fire hydrants... how do the fire-people plan to find them when they are in snow? I thought for a moment that maybe its just primer, and that the hydrants are being re-painted, then I went on to other streets, and again same thing white fire hydrants. In any case I will have to wait and see.... or can anyone tell me what's happening... maybe I will just ask Ryan, that's just easier!

So my younger cousin Sagar a.k.a. Dijay, has finally entered the workforce full time. I would like to wish him the best and all the success, and ofcourse the next 40 years of asking yourself why can't I be young again! I thought I would put some advice in here, but then that would be predicatble right? So I will leave the advice for now, and hope you enjoy the adventure!

Talk to you all soon

Vending Machine

We got a vending machine at the plant, AWESOME!!!!! Now I can finally have a real drink at lunch, instead of that yogurt we get! I just thought I should get that off my chest.

In any case things are good here, I like it (bold statement?!). I think I will take an intense session of Chinese classes to get conversational, so it makes things easier. Like trying to find the famous but elusive Shanghai Noodles. Man, I've tried to get them many times, but I've been quite unsuccessful. Kind of funny, my favourite Chinese dish is from Shanghai and I can't find it in Shanghai!

Well, I am going home on Saturday, and it should be good, looking forward to seeing everyone or anyone who wants to see me! Looking forward to some home cooked Dhar and Rotli!!!! Maybe I will hold the Bhaat (rice).

So the other day we were about to go home and I notioned to the driver if I could drive for a little while, I was just joking, but he jumped out and dragged me into the driver seat. Good thing for Patrina, Fong and the Autobahn, cause driving standard is a new thing for me, and then on top of that driving in China! It was fun! I was blazing down the Dayie Highway, it was scary and exhilarating at the same time. Scooter, cars, cyclist pulling out in front or getting extremely close, I became a quick expert at using the horn. Everyone got a honk, even the lady selling chickens at the intersection! One hand on the steering wheel, with my thumb ready to press the horn and the other constantly shifting. It was exciting, my passengers didn't think so! hehe

Anyways talk to you soon!
