The Charity for Especially Difficult Children

Chinglish
From the Hanoi Airport a few months back. Seems someone
has finally established a charity to help those parents
suffering from especially difficult children. I didn’t
know obnoxious ingrate brats were such a problem in
Vietnam. Perhaps its a charity that allows the
Vietnamese to help out their less fortunate American
counterparts…
(And for the record - yes I realize this is a well-intentioned charity for disadvantaged kids, and yes I did donate to the charity box. Just can’t pass up a title like that. Kudos to Grandma Jackie for spotting this)

Lately I’ve had a strange hankering for something
cubic, preferably composed of dried and pressed pork
shreddings. Looks like I’m in luck. Oh joy.
Saddam Hussein's Sublime Air Safety Technique

It seems that Saddam Hussein performed at least one
civic-minded act in his lifetime. Apparently during a
visit to Hanoi he was appalled by the poorly
illustrated emergency door section. He chivalrously
volunteered to pose for the airline’s next safety
brochure.
Say what you will about the despot, but he obviously knew his way around airliner safety equipment. Just look at that form. Sublime technique. And check out the sporty yet practical stain-hiding travel blazer...

A Healthy Bling-Encrusted Hello Kitty Obsession

O'Kitty |

of Interest
From a store in Happy Valley that specializes in
bling-coated accessories, especially Hello Kitty stuff.
Considering how popular both Hell O’kitty and bling are
in HK, I’m not surprised they’ve stuck around despite
the outrageous rent.
And just look at the selection - A Hello Kitty clock anchoring the display, a working retro bling phone, a 5 pound bling purse (great crime deterrent - who’d want to steal that?) Also several impractical but hyperbling iPhone covers. Be warned though - the Stitch and Hello Kitty options are about 3 inches thick, so mere mortal pockets won’t do. And of course a blinged-out black model Ferrari, complete with gull wing doors. Just like the real Ferrari. The doors I mean.
Speaking of cars, the owner tends to park across the street. I had a few pictures of this from previous outings, but unfortunately this is the only one I could find:
Yes that is bling lining the window’s weather stripping, and yes the union jack is solid bling, with pink stripes. There’s was also decal in the window forbidding photos - like she can enforce that somehow. I love the fact that she coats a white/pink Cooper with rhinestones and Hello Kitty paraphernalia, and then forbids photography...

Mandarin-Peel w/ Snake's Gall Juice - The Best Choice Souvenir

Wrong
If you’re ever in Hong Kong, be sure to pick up some
mandarin-peel w/ snake’s gall juice, an authentic local
favorite, and the ‘best choice of hong kong souvenir’.
Yep can’t walk ten feet without tripping over someone
convulsing on the sidewalk, purplish froth drooling out
between clenched teeth. Good for rebalancing the Qi
apparently. And just look at that shiny comet underline
- Its got to be the best!

I think this speaks for itself; no need to dwell on
what and/or whose saliva. That its listed under
‘appetizers’ makes it even more poignant.
Unappetizers perhaps?
