Day 3: Knees are weak, hands are shaking; I can't breathe. No, not withdrawal. Sinus.
You see there are two sides to a bed. Getting up with morning sinus automates that to the bad, and wrong side.
Yeah didn't get good sleep as per normal, and we had to change rooms today, so that meant getting up a wee bit earlier to pack. No biggie.
The kicker, a rather huge one mind you, was that the kid was tagging along. Now don't get me wrong, I love kids, really I do. Just not when I have their attention, become their focus and have the responsibility of keeping them safe.
Especially little boys. I don't know how the cliche catholic priests x little boys can about, because I sure as hell don't see anything likable about the little boys, pedophilia or not.
Anyways we dropped by the cafe, and she wasn't there. We really like the concept. Quasi-fastfood with nice bar seats. A relaxing place to grab a quick bite.
So this cafe where Ami works and I'm writing this, oddly called the 'Gogo cafe' is driving me nuts with their looping music that has a loop duration of perhaps 6 seconds. Sinus, a lack of sleep and a general feeling of dread of the looming journey ahead does not make for an optimistic day.
Oh and the fact that I'm going to be stuck with the kid for the next 10 or so hours.
FML.
Anyway it's time for brunch.
Day 3: Kids kids kids
And more kids.
Yeah we took him to the arcade.
Descriptions past that are wholly unnecessary.
But yes we did ride the cable car prior to that and it was as expected. Very bumpy and rocky though. Ian, meet giddiness and nausea. I believe you two have met.
Then, as I mentioned earlier, a herculean effort to take the kid to the arcade.
Dinner was at a crowded place where you needed to take a quick ride down. There were people literally swarming the van, wrestling their way in. Very reminiscent of Zombieland. You mean it's that hard to wait? Jesus.
Food was decent and cheap and we went back to the hotel plaza, did some shopping where I got a very nice shirt at a discount.
I swear Mc's mum is second to none at getting stuff cheaper and better. I don't know nor understand the full story (the exchange happened lightning quick and in Chinese) but it's safe to say I got a good deal and everyone was happy.
We left Mc's mum and grabbed a drink a Kenny Roger's. The food there was horrid. Dined there two days back and the food came cold. And late. The drinks were good though. Had a milkshake and Mc wondered the odds of our English-confused Ami(Amy?) working the late shift.
Now she wasn't there earlier, but Mc made the detour anyways, since it was the shorter way back to the hotel room.
Lo and behold. There she was. Maybe she really was at the toilet earlier. We went back to our room anyways. What a pussy Mc.
