The 10th anniversary of my 21st birthday consisted of the following:
1) Waking up next to an adorable kitten that I found on the steps of my apartment building. It ended up being more like a one night stand as I put him outside in the morning. I have no business having a pet in China.
2) A delicious vegetarian dinner where I was presented with a birthday gift of pretzels; my favorite snack which is nearly impossible to locate in China.
3)
EPIC KTV with about 30 of my friends, both American and Chinese.

4) Things begin to get fuzzy here. Drinks and cake at a beer garten (Chinese beer garten = an old basketball court with tables and chairs and a lady pouring pitchers of unnamed beer).

Many thanks to my friends in China for making this birthday one for the books.

| There's more than just orange soda in there. And Nina is oh so classy drinkin out of a plastic bag. |

The kitty is so cute! Look at his little nose! Are those scrapes, or dirt, or are those his markings?
ReplyDeleteI wasn't sure what it was either until I gave him a bath. I think kitty got into some meat. It was blood and I couldn't find a scratch on him. Yuck, but I kinda miss him! How's the love of your life?
ReplyDeleteShe's doing well. I turned off the A/C last week and opened my windows. She kept trying to get up onto the window sill, but she couldn't quite get her expansive furry butt up there. She'd stand by the window, with her little paws on the sill, and make these completely insufficient little hops.
ReplyDeleteShe seems to have worked herself into good enough shape she can manager it pretty regularly now, though.
