I'm off again to Turtle Island tomorrow (Friday). Supposedly, there may be another typhoon coming, but we'll see. This time, I'm supposed to stay 11 days, 6 of which will be by myself. I hope I'm ready! I hope I have enough food. And I hope that, seeing that I am unable to communicate proficiently and thus protest my case, the island workers don't kick me out of the facilities and force me to live in the barracks with the soldiers. "The oven."
Here's something I probably won't have on Turtle Island:
Delicious mangoes, the size of a baby's head. The flesh so creamy, dense and smooth, and meltingly soft and incredibly sweet. Not a single fiber to get stuck between your teeth.
I've recently re-discovered how delicious Taiwan mangos are. Sorry about the baby head analogy; I really can't think of anything else about that size right now. They weigh about the same too. Just kidding, how would I know? I've never bothered to weigh a mango.
i think i am most jealous of the mangoes. i remember eating 5 a day for weeks when i was little. yes. size of baby's head. think you can smuggle a seed back? :)
