Tidbits

As the Travellin' Trio unanimously decided to stay home last weekend, I have no new exciting things to write about so a few little goodies:

- I have found a seamstress who will alter slacks for $1, and that is more than just hemming them. That only cost 50 cens.

-- Taiwan has a helmet law for motorcycle riders but it only applies to the driver (Dad), not Mom sitting behind him holding the six month old or the 3 year old standing between his legs.

-- In the middle of the miserable cold of the winter, there are gorgeous warm days like today.

-- Chinese prescription nose spray is superb.

-- The season for my beloved tangerines is coming to an end. Now in the market, each one is wrapped in plastic wrap to keep in what juice there is.

-- My hard as a rock bed continues to make me feel sorry for myself mentally but wonderful back-wise. Some of the foreignors are talking about taking them home to the states with them.

-- They have invested in treadmills for the school so now the teachers have a "fitness center". This is good for me since, although I ride my bike a lot, I can always use more exercise and my light schedule gives me plenty of time.
