Ana_Last Night in Zhangjiagang

Last night with Mani...
Tim – EL INVENTOR thought of the greatest idea yet to have a FEAR FACTOR night like he calls it. All throughout our trip in China we’ve been finding weird stuff in the snack sections at the supermarkets. Talking with my sister they came up with brightest idea to buy some of the stuff to try. I wasn’t game for anything. But they thought it would be cool to play a game and whoever loses has to try the fear factor stuff. So all last week they kept eyeing stuff whenever we went to the market. I was not participating in the craziness. I could here them laughing down the aisles of food. They bought three things a disgusting looking black egg, one chicken foot and another pack of small eggs, they look disgusting too. I kept saying – I’M NOT PLAYING, NO WAY! They were trying to convince me that I had to play it was going to be fun.

Finally last night was the last night we were going to be together. So Tim was prepping me during dinner – COME ON ANA, IT’S OUR LAST NIGHT... and so on. But I was so scared of losing. On the way back from dinner they were talking about the rules and who gets to eat what. I was so afraid of losing I didn’t even want to play. The rule were playing three rounds of Texas Hold’em and the two losers from each round had to then draw a card and whoever had the lowest number would have to try one of the fear factor items. Tim lined them up in order. The first thing to try was the big egg, then the smaller eggs and the last one the chicken foot. I was so nervous of losing I didn’t want to play. I went for it. Tim was laughing at my since he said I had prettified look on my face especially when I had few chips to play with. The first round I WON with a nine on the river. My sister was not happy at all. I was relieved. The first draw was between Vane and Tim. Poor my sister she happened to get the lowest card. She tried the egg. Her faced was hilarious. I felt bad but it was funny to see her making so many animated expressions. She SPITTED the small piece she tried to swallow. It was pretty DISGUSTING she says. I believe it, it looked so NASTY. The second round my sister and I lost to Tim. I was really nervous drawing a card. But I got lucky and drew Queen high. My sister drew a 3. She was about to cry. She didn’t want to try the smaller eggs they looked the worst out of all three items. But she slowly peeled one egg and then took a tiny bite. She was gagging. It looked like she was going to puke. Soon enough to took the tiny bite she SPITTED out again. She said this one was SO NASTY, worst than the first egg. I felt bad this time. She was hesitant to play the third round, she was afraid she’d had to also try the chicken foot. She was playing aggressive in Texas Hold’em you could tell she didn’t want to lose. Sure enough Tim and I lost to Vane. The battle was between husband and wife. Lucky me AGAIN drew King high Tim was pissed, he drew Queen high. So close but I DON’T THINK SO. Tim said it wasn’t that bad. It just had a funky flavor. It was fun! I didn’t have to eat anything. I was so hesitant to play since I thought I was going to lose all three times, but it was not the case. FUN NIGHT! No more fear factor for me!
