| the old pond / frog jumps in / plop! – Matsuo |
This last weekend there was a traditional Chinese holiday called Dragon Boat Festival. Almost everyone gets to play hooky from school for it in China. As for me, I started a campfire with a koala bear.
After the wrap we celebrated with a cake and a lot of beer until the wee hours of the morning. It was then, during the zenith of my inebriated clarity, that I realised something. “I, too, am tipsy,” I slurred aloud in non-tonal Chinese to the twenty or twenty-five people in the room.
