Cat Diary Episode 78


October 6th 2019

So a few months ago I posted on Facebook about a neighborhood feral cat who didn't like anyone after its owner died. Since then, almost everyday, Billie Boo has been taking time out of her very important day to come and greet me. Today she did the craziest thing. 


Normally in the morning on my way to my car to go to work, she hears me coming and meows to me good morning or walks me to the outside gate.
This morning I came down, I hear her meowing and see she's on the second floor of the staircase on the ramparts next to mine which is weird because she never goes up any stairs. I wave tell her good morning and rush off to my car not thinking anything besides it's strange. 

Later, coming back home from work Billie Boo is chilling inside the gate relaxing in some rocks. I locked my car and made my way to pet Billie Boo like I always do, then headed off to my apartment which is on the third floor. And guess which sassy feline decided to follow me?


First she blocked my path with her white little furred body. Meowing in that rusty meow of hers and showing all but a neon sign that flashed "PET ME NOW"

I petted her then walked one step over her so that I could head to my apartment.
And she still followed. Racing ahead of me to the second floor and patiently meowing and waiting for me.

Gave her a quick pat then bypassed her, and STILL she ran ahead of me all the way to the third floor where she made it absolutely clear that I was not petting her like she wanted me to.
This is a new step in out feline human friendship. Never before had she EVER followed me to the  third flood let alone walk right inside my apartment like she owned the damn place once the door of my apartment opened. She walked inside my apartment and looked at every crook and cranny to see if there was anything that fit her fancy before walked right outside where I stood stupefied.

Is it crazy of me to think we have moved quite fast into this relationship or just purrfectly so?

Gulangyu Island

Gulangyu. It is no secret that this city is one of my favorite destination I have been to so far. According to China Daily, Gulangyu is the 2nd most visited tourist attraction after National Museum of Beijing. Main reason I love the island? No cars. No buses. No bikes. One of my favorite houses in the whole island. I mean, sure the island police have a little electric golf cart and as does a couple of the expensive, luxury hotels that reside in the island. For packages and delivery, there are men who walk with a large wooden cart like some sort of ox plowing through a field, except its not a field but a pavement and its an uphill. The people are welcoming, nosy and curious yet very laid back. Its a slow pace of life here with a population a little over 200,000 people. And almost everyone and their uncle is some sort of fisherman, or businessman. People's home's are open and sell just about any trinket you could think of. Especially ice cold water and popsicle...

At last! Taizhou, my new City and more!

Image
Hello my lovies! I am sorry for any lack of updates. I moved into my new apartment and the Internet was not properly set up. But now it is! And I have so many updates to post for you! So keep an eye out for them! Now back to our regularly scheduled program! TAIZHOU!   Pronounced Tie Joe. This beautiful city is absolutely something I never would have expected to live in. With just a little over 5 million people, Taizhou is a mix of new and old held by traditions and customs as well rapidly growing industrialization. It has been over a 13 days since I arrived and I am still blown away with how incredibly accepting people are. Of course I get stared at. I stick out like a sore thumb. Mostly everyone here (especially the women) are slender, while I, on the other hand, am the complete opposite: I stand taller than most Chinese women (even some of the men) and have a whole lotta curves!  For example, here in the picture, this is Mrs Wang, (known to me offici...

Supermarkets in Taizhou

Image
It's relatively easy to say that supermarket in China are just like the ones in the U.S. Heck, I've been to supermarkets in Mexico AND France and its pretty much the same thing there too. While there are a few differences here and there, the basics are still there. Imported produce and also pricier. You go in, find what you need, buy it, leave. Of course 95% of the things that they carry are China brands. They do have things from other countries like Pocky from Japan, and American candies like M&M's, and even Ferrero Rocher and it's expensive. I doubt anyone buys it. The vegetables here are cheap. Most are locally grown and are sold straight from the harvester to the Supermarket. One of the differences about supermarkets here is that no food ever gets thrown out. It may have mold or lost some leaves, or old, but it will get sold...at a lower price too. People actually look out for these old "clearance" produce especially the older generatio...
