Leaford, What are you doing over CNY?

[kdcaines]

Are you heading home for the holiday, or staying in china?
And how did you make out with Mike?
Just wondering, we haven't heard much from you lately. I'm sure it's been crazy these last couple of weeks. Hope you're gonna get a nice vacation!

 

[Michelle43]

I need a Mike update too

 

[kdcaines]

The time difference just dawned on me...duh! I think it's around 11:00 pm there. I'll bump this up later.

Steve and I had discussed changing my return ticket so I would be home over CNY, but with all the madness the past few weeks we never got around to doing it, so it looks like I'll be here through the end of the month.

We pushed our factories hard, and they were still working right through last night, instead of closing Monday like they had planned, and some of them will be reopening next week to finish the rest of the order, so I probably will be right back to work at least by middle of next week.

And in the meantime, I think Steve has plans for me to start being more active on my blog and the forums. No rest for the wicked, you know!

 

[Michelle43]

So you will be home at the end of February?

You are going to have to video Mike's reaction I think

 

[leaford]

Mike is still doing fine. It looks like it would take at least 60 days to get an export permit for him, though, so it doesn't look like he'll be coming back with me next time, although I might get the process started.

 

[kdcaines]

Well glad to hear you'll be on the forums more.
So have you eaten anything....ummm different lately?

 

[kdcaines]

Oh and Leaford I agree with Michelle. I would love to see a video of Mike's reaction when he's sees you again in person!

I ate turtle at a little mountainside restaurant the other day. It was good. Kind of beefy. Not at all fishy, like I had expected. I took a couple pics of the restaurant, but forgot to take a pic of the turtle, either before or after cooking.

Actually, he's likely to be bitey and groweley for a couple days after I get home. It takes him a while to get over being mad that I went away.

Turtle soup used to be a delicacy here, not sure I would try it though.

Mike will only be bitey and groweley because he loves you and misses you.

You're going back again?

 

[leaford]

You'd have to ask Steve. I sure hope to, but nothing in life is certain.

 

[kdcaines]

Turtle! Well that is different
Love the little "restaurant" I would love to travel more and explore different cultures. Although, I don't think my stomach would be able to handle the cuisine!
I do enjoy reading your posts and seeing the pictures, it really brings it all to life, for me.
It can get a bit boring over here in the northeast!

Been to the "bar" lately?

From experience with our Petey Bird I can tell you there is nothing pleasant about a pissy African Gray. Bitey and groweley is probably a pretty good guess but a mild explanation..

 

[kdcaines]

haha, Yeah I do get out a little.

 

[sawlight]

That was for Leaford, we'll see if he even remebers

 

[leaford]

WHich bar would that be Saw? In Thailand you mean? WIth the cute bartender?

Haven't made it back there, I'm sorry to say.

 

[sawlight]

Yup, the naked night

That restaurant looks like it came out of a 70's kung-fu flick!
