This is to serve as notice that I will be dismantling and removing my account at Vloggerheads, due specifically to the asininity of one “SydTheSkeptic,” a supposed “moderator” of this site.
I received two “requests” in the middle of the night from said “moderator” to remove a blog posting of mine...one request at 2:30 in the morning EDT, the other request at 4:30 in the morning EDT.

So, in the last blog, I mentioned going to pay my respects to my friend's ancestor. This time it was not at a cemetary. About a good 30 min. drive from where I'm staying, a drive over to Sun Wan, where I was not too long ago, as posted in another blog, you know, where it was rural, sleepy, and everyone gambles in their spare time? Anyways, it's also where the pineapples and bananas grow in the area.
So we get into the fields, and we climb this big ass hill. Kinda reminds me, I have… Continue
So yesterday, my Easter celebration was done in tradition Chinese fashion, and definitely not celebrating the death and ressurection of Christ.
Given my history with where I am, it also includes a bat-shit aunt that lives near my friend's place. Given it's that time of the year to pay my respects to the ancestors (ie: my Great-grandfather) I had to go the the nearest relative that knows where he's burried and how to pay my respects.
Dr. Calvin Rickson, a scientist from Ohio State University, has invented a bra that keeps women's breasts from jiggling and prevents the nipples from pushing through the fabric when cold weather sets in.
At a news conference, after announcing the invention, a large group of men took Dr. Rickson outside and kicked the shit out of him.
I put this video over here because I think it's kinda silly for me to post someone else' "vlog" in the videos section... but everything dude says is on point.…
So taking a small walk thru town, in a flea-market-esque area, where people pretty much sell their wares. Clothes, jewellery, crap, animals, veggies, oh, and medicine... kinda.
Herbalism is big here, and since I've grown up with it, wasn't too different for me to see that all sorts of fungi, herbs, and such were on display.
What really got me a little culture shocked was the animals for sale. Now I am not talking about pets, I am talking about food. Chickens, geese, and… Continue
Check it out. Totally random conversations with totally random strangers. I conversed with a military contractor in Kuwait for a 1/2 hour. Some weirdos but overall it's been interesting. One guy tried to convince me he was outside my house watching me. I was like alright then, wave at me. LOL
For those wondering about internet here, I'm using a friend's connection, since I'm staying at their place, instead of a hotel... cheaper that way.
In regards to bats, I was reminded that it is the cool season, so the bats aren't as active... so no worries, but they're not coming out till its warmer.
The black stuff in my nose... I just keep cleaning it out. What else can I do?
Languages... other than Cantonese, mostly in the HK dialect... not much else but a… Continue
