My Protanoptic Life

WarzauWynn posted a photo: Since I'll only be in Asia for a few more weeks, I figure I should take some typical asian travel photos while I still have the chance. Here's the temple on Ong Ho island near Long Xuyen.

WarzauWynn posted a photo: Tien's cousin showed up with some other family and a roasted pig, so we had a little feast on the floor in the big room.

WarzauWynn posted a photo: People spend a lot of time in this small kitchen.

WarzauWynn posted a photo: I was studying Vietnamese and Nhi was dancing with the Kinect. They've danced to every song we have a million times, it would be nice if some other interesting Kinect games would come out that have more content. We only have a few and they're getting played out.

WarzauWynn posted a photo: Tien and I went with some of her family to visit her cousins in Long Xuyen. I always find myself paying attention to the children because vocal communication isn't such a large part of interacting with them, so we can still have fun despite speaking different languages.

WarzauWynn posted a photo: Tien and I went to a wedding party for a friend that she went to Jr. High school with and hadn't seen in over 10 years. It's interesting to me that in VN culture that is what happens, you invite the whole village to your party. The party was at a nice hotel next to the Coop Mart in Long Xuyen. The groom spoke english, which was nice because I could congratulate him myself.

WarzauWynn posted a photo: This massage parlor only employs blind people, allowing them to have a normal job where they participate in society and earn their money rather than begging on the streets. Tien and I both got full body massages after studying today.

WarzauWynn posted a photo: We went through old photos today and I found this one of Thu and Tien when they were little girls that was really adorable. I had them pose with it so we can see them young and old.

WarzauWynn posted a photo: More and more I am disappointed by the colors I get from the T3i. I'm not 100% sure that it's the T3i though, it could be that I'm editing photos on the less-than-amazing screen on the 11" MBA. I don't think so though, because it's much easier to get the colors right on images taken with other cameras. In any case, I'll be posting a lot of B&W until I get rid of this T3i.

WarzauWynn posted a photo: Today was Tien's 29th birthday, and since there's no cake shop in Binh Hoa, and since it's difficult for me to do things in secret, she ended up buying her own cake. She picked this one out because she said it looked like her, which I thought was absolutely adorable. Last year was dinner at Bobo's Steakhouse, this year was dinner on the kitchen floor.

WarzauWynn posted a photo: Tien says this fruit display is a Tet tradition.

WarzauWynn posted a photo: This girl is prawn crazy, she nearly ate the whole bowl.

WarzauWynn posted a photo: This is the only photo I took today, so I have no choice but to use it for my 365. I burned myself on a motorbike muffler on Monday night.

WarzauWynn posted a photo: A lazy 365 before bed, staring at the ceiling through the mosquito net.

WarzauWynn posted a photo: The market is mostly closed because of Tet.

WarzauWynn posted a photo: I found this on the wall in the kitchen.
