Chinese New Year - Part 2


Unfortunately, I took too long to post this entry, so I forget exactly what happened when. Anyway, here are some more photos [click to enlarge]:

This is 檳榔 binlang, known as betel nut in English. Chewing it gives you a warm, alert feeling, but that's not the only reason it's popular here.I've never smoked a cigarette in my life, but, after all, it was New Years, and Chyo's visiting uncle turned out to be my 'supplier.'The warm, alert feeling I got did not make up for the nasty taste and blood red stains in my mouth. I'll stick to Merlot, thank you very much.
