didn't blog last night...got back too late, and i had a bad headache, which i hoped i could sleep off, but it's still there today, although it's slightly better (chris: please get well soon!). anyway, last night went to celebrate 2 of my friends' birthdays at this restaurant called taiwan fan dian, we had a set meal for 10 people which cost $64.80...and that's really a decent price, but get this...that didn't include rice, we had to pay for it separately, and they charged us $10 for rice! gosh...i feel outraged just thinking about it, $10 for rice? we could buy many sacks of rice with that amount.
after that a few of us went to the krispy kreme "factory" in pinole. krispy kreme is an extremely popular chain of donuts...super sweet kind, glazed with lots of icing. it's a sort of factory because you can look into their kitchen and see the machines at work, it's pretty fascinating seeing how the donuts are flipped and glazed, the donuts ride on this conveyor belt and literally go through a waterfall of sugar to come out iced...we stood there looking like we had never seen donuts before. well, we'd never seen them made that way before! i unabashedly took pictures of the machine, although my friends accused me of being touristy...heh, can't be paiseh when it comes to things like that, got to capture the moment! oh, and everyone who goes there gets a free donut...it was so good, right of the rack, it was warm and soft inside. vic: if you ever come visit me, that's where we must bring you, your paradise! after that we went to in-and-out burger, which is probably the best fast food chain in this part of america...amazing how my friends could still wolf down burgers and fries, i sat and watched...coz i was so full already by then.
came back and fell into bed, hoping that this morning the throb in my head would be gone...it sort of is as i type this now, hope it stays that way.
