Old age and sickness sucks. Buddha was right.

Day three: 1,000 island, 4:47pm
I wonder how many married couples and families is just settling.
"Part of yoooouuur world": the islands and multi-million $ little fiefdoms is pretty cool. I wish I could be one of them.
Fucking savages
Savages, I tell you. It's an all you can eat Chinese buffet, there is literally all the food you can eat. Chill out.
This old grandfather patriarch I'm sitting next to on the tour bus is pretty cool, I would spare him from my eugenics program. He's like soooo sick of his family's crassness, even though he's probably the one they learned it from. He kind of looks and acts like a wise farmer. Which is not to say he can't be crass and loud, but he saves it only for rare and special occasions that call for it.

Caribou "alcoholic beverage"
Okay. Thanks to this 23% "Canadian alcoholic beverage", I have once again circled out of loathing and back into the a happy place of surrealism. it tastes a little like cough syrup and...well no, it just tastes like cough syrup. but hey, stronger than wine!
I know I need a little more grace and humility and gratuity.
Rethink
Need to rethink my concept of traveling. Don't get fulfilled by walking around old fashioned historical districts full of trapped tourists. Don't get fulfilled by going to tall buildings and paying lots of money to look down at roof tops.'
What fulfills me , I think, is eating and activity likes hiking or surfing. But the ironic paradox is that you can't climb mountains and surf epic waves and still eat at fancy/tasty restaurants...unless you live in Hawaii.
Driving down lonely desert highways is nice.
Mongolia. Dreams of Mongolia.... Mongolia dreams.
Omg, look at what they are forcing me to eat
:'(
international food destinations and i'm eating at CAD$10 chinese buffets. I hate guided tours so much... FML.
Day two: Quebec city dinner
This food is so bad I want to punch somebody. The food on this whole tour is so bad I want to punch a bunch of people.
Day two: Montreal: 11:05 high places and bio dome
Fulfilled human need to find the high ground, another exciting view of a cityscape.
Bio Dome was super cool with angry shy lynx, baby sloth, capybara, beaver, otter, aquarium and a cacophonous gaggle of Chinese tourists and French grade school kids on field trips.
Plot twist: we were the bad guys all along. We are those people deserving my scorn and hate (Except for that one family with the kids I want to eugenicize. They are the master villains, we're more like the innept evil minions compared to those wastes of space)
Restrooms
Really sucks to be a woman
in tour group, at stops at tourist sites for pictures, if you are lucky you get 20 minutes at one tourist stop, with 50 people on the bus for two hours or more, the women only get to see the back of other women and dirty bathroom stalls.
Day two: 7:28am
Great thing about Chinese tourists is they are all skinny. Good thing for long bus rides.

Elisa goldsmith
that 28 pound bar of gold, at current market price of US$1,153 per ounce, was worth over half a million US dollars.
2:02pm yang Ming Chinese buffet
I have grown beyond my petty discontent. I have left the world of irritation and dissatisfaction and entered the realm of tongue in cheek surrealism that I can't help but to enjoy.
Food and money
I'm not complaining, just noting, that our tour guide has been on the bus microphone talking about our tour groups dinner options tonight for the past thirty minutes; once in mandarin, once again in Cantonese. She has gone on in great length and detail about what is free and included in the tour and what dishes are optional and require extra payment.
Why don't they just print this out on a piece of paper and give us as copy. There must be a reason...because she wants to earn her tips? Because she really loves the sound of her own voice? She really needs to just print this logistical stuff on paper and spend more time talking about the history, fun facts and importance of the stuff we are looking at.
According to her, paying the extra $15 for the lobster dinner option tonight is a good idea...
Update: our tour guide lies. The lobster was not worth fifteen bucks.
11:12am
Chinese tourist hordes. I will fight my heritage and Destiny. I will not be one of them. I will not assimilate.
OMG. Kensington 11:09am
Please, somebody please help me! I am hurting This literally hurts my soul.
Guided bus tours....
this is the box of pain I'm stuck in.

Chinese tourists
Holy shit. The stereo types about my people on vacation is painfully true. Understated if anything. They are a good 75 meters away and I can hear everything they are saying as they take pictures of some stupid concrete thing.
