The wise words of Lao Tsu

*This too will pass * When I let go of what I am, I become what I might be * When you realize that all things change, there is nothing you will try to hold on to * Being deeply loved by someone gives you strength, while loving someone deeply gives you courage

Yep she is definitely Chinese

One thing people often mention about China is the mess people make at the dinner tables in restaurants. Rubbish, bones, wrapping from chopsticks, bowls etc is all over the tables and floors. I've always been fascinated by Chinese peoples ability to filter out fish bones in their mouths, no hands needed, just put in a mouthful, seemingly swirl it around, then spit out neat clean fish bones. I just stay away from fish here, river fish has too much danger involved ;-) My dog being 100% Chinese born but with my western influences still regularly shows her Chinese side. Stepping or jumping over wet patches on the pavement often amuses me, but she has the fish bone skill too, it's just that she does it with all the biscuits she doesn't want. Check out this video of her causing the Chinese dining mess by skillfully cleaning the chicken and rice from her biscuits whilst in her mouth and then discarding the biscuits on the floor.
