Eating Frenzy
My cousin Simon is a monster. He's like a heroin addict except his drug of choice is food. If you looked at him you wouldn't be able to tell Simon is a big fan of eating riddiclous amounts of food. Simon and his family arrived from HK yesterday and as soon as he set down his luggage, we went out to eat, just me and him. We took a cab around Xiamen just for the purpose of eating different street food at the best places. Within an hour, we ate enough for a person to call his breakfast, lunch and dinner. We had "saute mi" (spicy noodle soup), "zhong zi" (rice wrapped in banana leaf), "tou tsun dang" (seaworm jelly), jelly fish, baby octopus, duck noodle soup, roast duck, pig intestines, and duck intestines. I'm surprised I could actually keep up with this food fiend. Later on we went for a Thai massage, it was wicked. I've never had a Thai massage before but I couldn't believe what these little Chinese ladies are capable of. They might be small but they can handle you like a rag doll, balancing you on your lower back with their knees and forcing you to do yoga positions that you could never imagine. Oh yeah, the girl who massaged me said I looked like David Wu, this Chinese-American actor from HK. There's been a record going now with people in China saying I look like David Wu. Whenever I meet someone for the first time and if they watch TV, 8 out of ten times they'll say I look like David Wu. Almost every massage girl has said I look like this guy. Anyways, after the Thai massage, Simon and I went to eat more dirty street food. After that I feel into a food coma, I don't even remember what we ate, but it was a lot.
