A… Urm… Surprise in Today’s Mail

I came home today and found two packages on the porch. One was an expected package from Coldwater Creek (Cotton sweaters on SALE!) The other package was from G + H with a NY address.

New York make me think of Nathan, but I didn’t remember that being his address, so I opened the package with great trepidation. Inside I found a note:

Needless to say, this did not make me feel any better.

It was a very heavy box.

Swallow Nest Soup. This looks even more disgusting than grass jelly drink and crunchy water chestnut drink.

Oh look! It IS more disgusting!

Inside the box are six MORE boxes!

Here’s an individual box.

Check out those ingredients.

Water, Swallow Next, Rock Sugar.

And even better! The latest technology! Sterilized in an HACCP-certified facility!

Mmm mmm!

Ooh! Six baby food jars full of bird’s nest soup!

I’m going to send an e-mail off to my friends Mang and Fan and Xiaorong and see what they have to say about this and what they suggest.

ADDENDUM the First:
Here’s the first response from one of my friends.

Remember what you said about expensive pee for the suppliment vitamines. It is the same!
