Oriental Hoxy

OH MY GOD
havent blogged for AGES
my sincerest apologies!
well anyone who has seen my msn name knows i've been very oriental recently! ^.^
day before yesterday i went to Rai's house and we went out together for a chinese
we had muscles and chicken in sweet and sour sauce annnd mushrooms and egg fried rice and noodles with beef and all sorts of tasty things!
we used chopsticks too and rai was very messy ^.^ i was rather clean about it
we had chinese tea at the end which made us need the bathroom ALOT
we barely made it home!
both walking very wooden on the way back =3
THEN
the next day...
me and my mummy went shopping! ^.^
so we brought some stuff, including my awesome new tartan shoes!
and mum tells me she saw a China exhibition in the museum!
so i just said "AH LETS GOOO!"
we finally found the musuem after a bit of jiggery pockery round the market stalls and a rather unsettled arabian man...
and we went in and there was FREE chopsticks! so i stocked up on the bamboos =3
the exhibition was AMAZING
it had loads of information about normal life and writing and the cookery god!
my mum was rather less impressed but my eyes were sparkling!
i was telling her about oracle bones, which i new about already ^.^
they wrote a question to ask the gods on a bone and heated it in the fire until it cracked
then they read the cracks to get the answer!
my mum just gave me a disbelieving look...
so we finished at the museum and was on our way back to the car, when we saw a nice tea shop called Wittards that we go in sometimes.
so i suggested we buy some chinese tea!
and we did! ... only it was japanese... it tasted the same...
so back on our way to the carpark, i saw a little shop selling bits and bobs and pretty things
i looked in the window and saw one corner was full of pots and things
and i saw a pot of noodles that had a hole you can out your chopsticks in!
i was very tempted, but i didnt buy it because when i have noodles, i have ALOT of noodles
but i brought some sexy black chopsticks with koi fish on them, which i actually used that night what i had stirfry!
and i also brought a little oriental looking mug, that didnt have a handle, and was proberly made in liverpool, but nevermind.
its very cute and i use it when i have my japanese tea now, which i found was called Sencha
so we carried on, still going to the carpark laden down with shopping, when we passed a japanese food stall
the sushi was very expensive, but a woman was handing out free samples so i got mum to try some cucumber maki with me ^.^
it was very nice!
and finally got home and had japanese tea and stirfry
but i still need a big bowl for my stirfry and a china pot for my tea
thats my next mission!

au revoir
Hoxy
