Things I Saw Today

I saw a McDonalds next to a Chinese fast food chain that sold noodles instead of burgers and had Bruce Lee instead of Ronald McDonald for a spokesman. Seriously. Bruce Lee.

I also saw my first Chinese KFC equivalent, which has a Col. Sanders, except he looks like Chairman Mao with a bow tie on.

I saw a distinct grimace on my French classmate's face when our Thai classmate, this beautiful funny girl, told him, "I can't pronouce your name. I'll just call you X1."

I saw a masked grimace on our teacher's face when Frenchy shrugged apathetically after pronoucing "lai" "li" for the upteenth time in a row.

I saw a Ferrari pocketwatch for 50Y. I bought it.

I saw a guy with absolutely no arms whatsoever. Maybe a three inch stump on one side. The other side was completely stumpless. There were scars all across the stumpless side. I could not help but wonder...was it sharp? Dull? Fast? Slow?

I saw a man over 60 riding a skateboard, the only person I've seen on a skate since I got here. He was pushing slowly, then cruising all slow and graceful with his arms way out. He wasn't going anywhere, just tooling around a parking lot. He is my hero, needless to say.

I saw the worst infestation of spider mites I have ever seen on my brother's kumquat bush. Does anybody know how the get rid of these things?
