Happy Birthday to me!

Hello all and thanks for the birthday wishes. I had a pretty good birthday considering how far I am from the homeland.

Last night there was a very nice cake for after dinner complete with a wacky, opening-flower candle that played the birthday song.

Today was a trip to the Lion Forest Garden (many rock formations - post some later) followed by a 2 hour body massage. Two people, two hours each normally is $50. I bought a VIP card which gives me 35% off :) Oh, it was nice.

Then to a bar for a drink and table tennis championships on TV, then to my favorite bar (Life's Bar) near my building. A couple of drinks there, watched 15 year olds from the west drink, smoke and shoot pool, flirted with the waitress and had the cuter one request "Happy Birthday" from the Philliphino band. All in all, a very nice birthday.

Tomorrow, house cleaning, ad writing (for when I get back), maybe another massage :^)

Happy Birthday Matt!
John is here with me now. You make me homesick with your pictures of Suzhou.

Janine: thanks for the wishes. I only took a little bigger step than your move.

Ann: you are always eligible for the *free* massages ;)

Jane: I'm glad you like the photos! More coming especially for you.

S: No problem about the b-day card. The blog wishes are enough :) and chances of you getting a card are slim.
