9 July
Another day another story
did you hear the one about the chinese egg
probably not quite 100 years old
but it was caught and coated in a layer of mud - uncooked -
then stored in a big jug, probably with some kind of marinade
and when it appeared on my plate it was
black in the yoke centre
and the white was crystal clear transluscent looking like some kind of gelatin
and it tasted just like a fresh egg
and i hear they are good at embalming.

Hot day
just had another big dinner with the competition
english speaking filipino geologist who lives in perth
nice change.

This is the entrance to the motel and our very own great wall of china.

catch you later
