    I wonder why penguins? Just kidding. :) I like penguins it's fun watching them get fed.

    The snail in my picture is there because the restaurant is famous for serving snails or escargot as the call them in France.

Without hesitation, I gave him an ang pow. his granddad put him on the table and I took a shot of him.. When I went back home in the evening, I realized that the bunch of bananas at the altar has ripen. I brought the bunch to my shop and shared with my people.
