I guess this was my first time seeing the Wuling Air EV. It's like a miniature version of my greatly missed Honda Element, albeit with an electric-only powertrain that limits it to in-town use. I should like to have a green one, please.

This one is actually green. Google needs to check camera software on their Google Pixel 4a phone. My old, tired eyes know what they saw. It was green, and it was good. 20230916 |
One more moon cake from S&P. This was the basic lotus seed version. On the plus side, it had a very nice design stamped on it, instead of the S&P branding. On the minus side, it did not taste particularly good. As a connoisseur of junk food, I rate it as: So-so.

Pithy comments: Rain is good. Water is life.
We shall not speak of the humidity...

You can't get something for nothing. Eat high-calorie moon cakes often, and you will get fat. The crime: Gluttony. The punishment: Turning over the elliptical machine.

How many maps have been stored in this poor little brain of mine? Always room for more, I suppose, depending on where I am. As of now, it still feels very good to learn a new street or a new area of town. My most recent discovery was the สนามกีฬาเฉลิมพระเกียรติ 80 พรรษา / 80th Birthday Stadium.
It was built for the 2007 Southeast Asian Games, and it still sees a lot of use. We went over there about 14:00 to buy tickets for the volleyball match. Too bad the tickets had been sold out since 10:00 hours. Oh, well. We greatly enjoyed watching it on TV from the comfort of home.

It is the season of moon cakes. S&P has more than 15 different flavors. I can report that Purple Sweet Potato & Lotus Seeds is good. Orange Chocolate Lava is good.
There is no question regarding the quality of S&P moon cakes. This fat bastard approves.
However, there is a fatal flaw on several of these moon cakes. That is, there is no Chinese character on the cake. There is only the branding in English--S&P. Unacceptable.
Although the S&P moon cakes are delicious, I shall not purchase any moon cake lacking a lucky Chinese character. A glutton I may well be, but a picky one, I guess you can fairly say.

I admit to a bit of hyperbole. It's actually just Bug Village and not Giant Bug Village. But still... Many of these bugs are large enough and scary enough to give you a heart attack if you were to suddenly encounter them in the wrong situation. An interesting exhibit. I might go back for a closer look on a weekday, when the mall is less busy.

I guess it was my dream that the air wouldn't get bad until mid-January. I got back right at the end of the rainy season, and the air is...
