Backpacking in the wilderness or a car camping road trip is a typical vacation for me.
So, if you cannot take a 'traditional' vacation in 2020,,,,,

My parents were going to take us to Germany for this big once-every-ten-year’s festival thats been going on since the 1600s. That got pushed back to 2022 (hopefully we will have regained some good will and will be allowed to travel to ally countries again by then).
I was stoked because I had about a month of vacation time all freed up just in time for deer season. Now they are talking about renting a cabin in Tahoe instead. I guess I won’t mind missing the opening day crowd.
We got a new car so maybe a road trip somewhere cool is in order.

For a country that doesnt have a lot, I find many of them lead far more happier lives than folks here at home. It a country that fosters a strong local community. When I showed up my mom had some old friends and relatives whom I've never met before and they all treated me like I was one of their own.

I always assumed you were Chinese (canto).
I had a similar experience when returning to the home country when I was 26 and meeting cousins for the first time or some that i hadn’t seen in 20 years - I was instantly treated like family; like I never left. It was a great feeling. And they are much happier than me because their lives are simpler. All about family. Sunday family lunch with all the aunties and cousins.
... met a Burmese girl back in the day - pre-interweb/cell. Heather Roberts. She was beautiful AF. Traded digits. Called a few times. Couldn’t get a date goddamnit. Anyhoo, she wrote me a letter! She had a bf goddamnit. But she was nice enough to take time to write me a letter and wish me the best.
Edit: and she had a Marilyn Monroe beauty spot! God. Damn. It.

I'm actually Toisan, but my grandparents immigrated to Burma where both my parents were born. A thought actually struck my mind when I was traveling through Burma (and China when I went a few years ago..).
Its fucking poor as fuck. People there still live in shacks in little villages with dirt roads. Not like Yemen or anything, but its the definition of a third world country. I very well could've been a malnourished burmese kid growing up pushing an ox cart or truck driver if my parents never made that trip overseas. But regardless, why my grandparents ended up in Burma was strictly arbitrary - it was for business reasons. We very well could've ended up in any different number of other asian countries that have Chinese communities - HK, Singapore, Vietnam, Malaysia.

When we were in Lombok (the Oakland of Bali) years back, our driver at the resort was from the island. He said he'd lived in Seattle for years, owned a business, etc. Ultimately he decided that his life was better there in what we'd consider pretty basic, albeit beautiful, conditions.

Toisan! Hey about 4-5 years ago. Met up with some bros for dinner at New Woey Goey Loey (sp) on Jackson just below Grant. About 6 of us. Turned out 3-4 were Toisan but forgot most of Toisanese (sp).
So we’re hanging out eating mui choi kau yuk (THE standard of bro dinners) and the Toisan guys were like “how do you say hammer (in toisanese)?” The other guys would pause and one guy would say “i think its &$&@:!” And then another guy
Would reply “no that means ‘toilet’”. And we’d laugh. Then a guy would ask “how do you say breast?” One guy answered “i think its £€&$@“ And someone would say “no that means ladder”. And we’d laugh again. Went on for an hour.
After we paid the check, we got sad cuz night was over. So then we walked to that bakery on corner of Columbus to hang out some more lol We ordered a chocolate soufflé and asked for 6 spoons lol and continued our Toisan language lesson lol It was definitely m4m. Fun times! Nice meeting everyone!
