Mandarin and Mah-jong

Mahjong is a chinese game with wee bricks instead of cards. its a great game. addictive and honestly better than every card game I can think of. though a Mahjong deck weighs a couple of kilos so when a drinking game is called for you cant really whip out a set and start sticking little bricks to your head.


My mandarin teacher Natalie (the one im pointing at) who is actually nuts but really funny, and Rachel a wee american girl who did the same classes.
Here's me looking like a plonker, again. Rachel looks older but is actually only goin on 15. They came round coz Natalie was sposed to teach us how to play Mah-jong in Mandarin (me and Rach knew how to call hands and all the different pieces in cantonese) but Natalie failed to mention she didnt really have a clue how to play Mah-jong so we ended up teaching her. A mate from work, Kryon (weird name I know) came round too. He's cantonese and mega camp. he's really funny!





Sunset, lookin out from the west of Kowloon. Loads of wee boats and floating-platform cranes sit in the harbour, that deal with the tankers and container ships.

Anyone recognise the poet? Anyone? Well thats cause I made it up. I dont read poetry cause its for gayboys.
