Tada!

I present to you the first green bean porridge ever made by me! Green bean porridge is known for its detox effects. When I was in Haikou, I was ambushed by a group of mosquitoes and hence the need to detox.

I am back!

Cat's back. All jetlagged. I could use some IV about now... hehe.

Me getting an IV in Haikou -- got sick and dehydrated, but was mostly my own fault. (Sigh, Jiggy, where were you when I needed you to the rescue? :-P)

The IV room in the hospital -- damn, why can't we have one of these at work!

100th Posting!

Yay, whereiscat.com is officially one hundred postings old! Alright, I'll put up some pictures I took in Haikou today. The storm clouds finally departed and it was all blue sky and fluffy clouds.
Palm Trees: stand in attention!

Grounds at the hotel looking pretty

This is my favorite -- it just captures the contradiction in China today -- a lucky charm with Chairman Mao and a Wall Street Bull inside a taxi. Hmm Chairman Mao would be flipping if he saw all this superstition and capitalism...

&%#@*$

&#$%@! Haikou has like 99% chance of rain every day this week! How am I going to swim in the beautiful pool -- there goes my dreams of being a mermaid and get all toned up before I head back to the States. The good news though is the typhoon has finally blown through.

It's actually quite beautiful from the hotel. It's about 3am here. I can see the sparkling outline of downtown Haikou and hear the waves from the sea.

Typhoon in Hainan

Arrived in Haikou - just in time for a typhoon. The sea is all churned up.

Deja Vu

Back in Hong Kong again. Waiting for my connection flight to mainland China. Had a bowl of noodle soup at Ajisen Ramen. It was soso, too much MSG in the soup. I used to like it very much in Hong Kong and Shanghai but the branch at HKG is at best soso.

Chairman Mao's Kitchen

Here is a place to revigorate my revolutionary fervor :-P
Note to self: remember to bring the little red book to complete the look.
