Time for music
by chris
Monkey King Matt went to to the mall to buy something for his computer and I accompanied him. When we got to the top floor, which for some reason had computer supplies and musical instruments next to each other, I saw a bunch of guitars. I thought I could probably get one for cheaper elsewhere, but it might take hours to find and I decided I wanted one then. When I found one for 200rmb ($30), I thought, wow, maybe I should get one. I played it, it was just as good as a $200 one in Canada, so I bought it. Now I am back in the habit of playing guitar for the first time in eight years and I’m even teaching Joy (the Monkey Queen). Maybe I can find a way to work it into my classes.

Good for you man. I recently took up the guitar. I bought a really cheap one, machine made somewhere in the east
that should serve its purpose till I get the money for a better one.
Anyway, I was buying it for 3 years
and I finally bought it. For me it’s the ultimate satisfaction.

I also bought a guitar while I was living in Taiwan. Few things besides voice travel better.
I’d like to take this opportunity to present a random thought, an alternate translation for ‘Canadian guy’: 加伙. And that’s my quota of puns for the day filled.
