(no subject)
in the morning and then at night, my mom and aunt and uncle start and end the day by watching some korean period soap opera/show. korean music & tv is all the rage throughout asia, apparently, esp. in taiwan
i spend some time in their front garden area and hang out with their 3 parrots and bunny rabbit
my aunt maggie and uncle john arrive and we all go out to lunch (like i said, all we do is eat & eat & shop)
we went to the "dream land chinese restaurant and cool station"
then we drive down to irvine, where my aunt and uncle live and where my family used to live (i went to high school there)
ah, the flat southern californian desert landscape
we stop by my aunt and uncle's house for a bit. i love how their living room is sooo stuck in the 70's!
then we drive through the oh so organized (read: depressing as hell!) streets of irvine
we stop by the 99 ranch market, the asian chain supermarket, to pick up some random things, like these fragrant pears, which everyone in my family is obsessed with right now, i don't know why - they just taste like regular asian pears to me
i spied some pickled mustard greens (yum)
a cute banner at the market
we go out to dinner with a cousin i've never seen before and his wife and 3 kids and by the time we drove back to walnut, it was nearing dusk
