Shooshi Train

"Lonely, I'm so lonely." is what I imagine Rayana was singing to herself again when she had her lunch today. Apart from the voices in her head, she did have her tuna pide to talk to during lunch.

"So how does it feel getting out of your can today, tuna?", Rayana says.
"Would have been a whole lot better if you quit shoving me inside your mouth." The tuna answers back. "Oh, and do you mind not chewing on me when we're talking?".

Anyway, on our way to lunch, we did talk about how me and Margaret didn't seem to have too much tolerance to the cold weather. We both were wearing reasonably thick jackets, while Jared as usual had to strip down to his salmon shirt and say it was awfully hot. That brought about the topic of SNOW skiing as I've never tried that before - Tony suggested we plan a big thing during winter and just go for it. (A good idea, perhaps we should.) And this is where Jared mentions that he himself ski-ed one time wearing just a shirt and trousers. What an awful thought. I quickly tried to think of something else before Jared's hairy legs burned into my mind. *Chris shivers.

Our lunch was a quick trip to the sushi train place where your appetite is measured by the tower of plates you have in front of you. In Florence, it took 170 years to construct that magnificent tower in Pisa. Jared only took 5 minutes to construct his own version. The patrons were in awe, people actually started posing and taking photographs of this magnificent structure. Too bad they had to take it down as it was preacariously leaning toward the soy sauce.

I learned a couple of new words as well. To survive in China, I made sure I knew how to order Coke - mandarin style. I checked and it seems that that drink is pretty universal and popular there so whew! Excellent! As I don't know what will happen to me if I do get deprived of my fave drink. The next step would be to learn how to order egg noodles and bbq pork, just in case.

With Chantal building a tower of her own, I had to give up on my 2 storey mall as I really was sooo full from the morning tea cakes. I must say it's embarassing to see her eat more than me. Hmmmm... maybe next time.

It was pouring just when we got back to the office to conclude our Japanese lunch.
