I got Inked!!!

You're in a foreign country, you have some down time before going out for the night...what do you do--GET A TATTOO!!!!!

Ok, ok....I'll tell you the real story.  I wanted to get a meaningful tattoo while I was here so I looked up stuff on-line and I settled on a kangaroo which I thought totally summed up this place.  I did have some time to kill on Saturday so I thought it would be the perfect time.  I pass a tattoo shop everyday on my way to work, so I stopped in and they had time to get me in.  For any of you that have a tattoo you know that the word painful isn't how to describe the experience of getting a tattoo but more so annoying--am I right?!  It's a small needle going in and out of your skin at an extremely fast rate.  The only problem with the tattoo that I chose is that it only took an hour--there goes wasting a few hours-ugh!  If you can't tell where this is on my body, it's on my right side at my pant line.  No worries, it can totally be covered up with clothes;) 

A group of us went out for Debbie's birthday Saturday night.  Had dinner in Chinatown which was quite tasty.  There were some folks there that I haven't seen in a while so it was nice to catch up.  Fun day I must say!

I signed up with the social club to get a guided tour of the Gallery of Modern Art which was a short walk across the river for me.  One of the directors' at work is on the board there and she volunteers there and gives tours so she gave us one.  I'm not an artsy person and most art I don't get so it was wonderful to get the story behind the artwork and what it meant.  Afterwards some of us went to eat at a pizza joint close by.  It was really nice out today so it was nice to get outside and walk around and do something that I normally wouldn't do.  

I keep thinking of random things that I want to tell you guys.  When you are sick you say you are crook.  Isn't that funny?  Someone missed work and I asked them the next day if they were ok and they said, yeah--I was crook.  I'm sure you can imagine the look I gave them, ha.  

I went to Subway the other day and I got a fountain soda and when I went over to the machine there wasn't an ice dispenser.  I turned and said to the worker, where do I get the ice at and he said, oh it's cold, we don't have ice.  WTF?!?!  I was NOT a happy camper about this, I did survive--barely, ugh!

Not sure if I've already told you this, but you can't buy alcohol in the grocery store.  They have separate stores for alcohol.  Talk about not being able to minimize your errands when you're out.  

A new gyro place opened across from work called yiros, so I set up a group lunch so we could go check it out.  They put french fries on their gyro's--talk about taking a healthy sandwich and totally making it unhealthy.  Yes....I ate every bit of it and it was delicious, it was just pretty weird to eat a gyro with french fries on it.
