Chinatown

Today me and my friends Dan and Teddy, as well as Teddy's friend Ben from Israel went to Chinatown to get some Dim Sum at the Golden Phoenix. If you are unfamiliar with Dim Sum, it's basically the same as a buffet, except the buffet comes to you in the form of tiny, Chinese women pushing carts laden with deliciousness around to all the tables. So we had that, and then around payment time, Ben discovered he had only a $100 bill.


Get it? Benjamin? Anyways, the important part of the story is what happened next. We took a stroll down the main street of Chinatown. We saw hilarious things, like this sign:


It says PENANG when you're driving by, but otherwise, it's just PPEENNAANNGG. Silly.

Then there's this store in Chinatown called World Treasures Emporium. It's a winner. All sorts of random stereotypically chinese stuff for dirt cheap. Which led to this:


And subsequently, this:


Dan's double robe action. Needless to say, we all came out of that store with silk robes, but I also bought a winter hat that has the word RESPECT on it in huge letters in rhinestones, as well as the picture from the Scarface poster, also in rhinestones.


I also got a ridiculously long peacock feather, a switchblade comb, and a Bruce Lee figurine as a gift from Teddy.
Good day, good trip.
