Chinese Valentine

That's what it is today, so people burn false money again, this time for some sort of metaphysical girl who can only visit her boyfriend, who is residing on the moon, once a year, and that is today. But before going to David's house today, I went with Joni to a rotary meeting in her club. Here is the get:  

 
And the instructions (which refers to the "Smoke Manual Station" with "Fire Hydrant": 
 
 
 
 
Other than that, no much interesting stuff happened except for some rotarians singing and speaking in englese but mostly chinese, but when we went to David's place, suddently this happened:
 
 
They don't just burn paper this time, they also put out some makeup and flowers for the girl to take with her on her one day trip to the moon. Afterwards we ate the food.
 
This afternoon I shaved my beard off. The school I am going to go to requires that I do so, but I am not starting there before monday. I just shave today because tomorrow I will be going to another rotary meeting. This time with my host club, which consists of men, and is therefore a probably bit more conservative than the one I went to a meeting with today, which has only women.

All your base is belong to Joni

I just need to make her less afraid of cats and the prophecy will fulfill, so you better get your Zig's ready for launch so they can know what they're doing for great justice.

  

I really just spent some time at the hospital, waiting for all the future rotary exchange students in the family to get their medical reports done - the ones you need to turn in with the application for a long-term exchange. Haha. I hope I can be a good inspiration for them to think about going to Denmark.

However, today I ate some really 很好吃 (hen hao chi). It was beef noodle with handmade noodles, and if you ever go to Taiwan you should really try very hard to find a place where you can get that because it is ge-ge-good-eh.

Other than that I can just say:

No more stories today, they washed away and I am tired. Have to get up early tomoz. Nite!
