I am he as you are he

Updated - now with WORDS...This is at the Jade Buddha Temple in Shanghai. I know these are supposed to be lions, but they look more like demon-possessed lhasa apsos.
There's another of this exact picture with a big dopey me standing in the middle of it. I opted to post this one because, honestly, I just ruin everything.
I really enjoyed the temple even though I was bitten right outside by one of the stone dog/lion/dragon things that guard the entrance. His name is "Byt Yu."

That is perhaps the most horrible joke I have ever repeated.
At the beginning of the world cruise, they had for some reason stored dozens of small tress in the hallways of deck three. Why? I don't know, but it provided good cover for wild jungle beasts, stalking their unsuspecting prey...
Here I am at the night market in Hong Kong, sitting at some random outdoor eatery. Corinne and Mallorie often give me that questioning, "are you real, and are you really doing/saying that?" look. This is how we get along.
I have used chopsticks before, and while I never felt "proficient" I also never HAD to use them. Lately, it's often been the case that if you don't use chopsticks you don't eat. I am now so good, I even use them to drink soda. The other day, I incapacitated a mugger using only chopsticks*.

I tried to post these several times before finally meeting with any success. I hate the onboard internet. Inconsistent! Today... I leave for One Night In Bangkok. I wonder if I will meet Murray Head? Anyone who gets that reference earns a no-prize, and anyone who gets the "no-prize" reference gets a... sense of achievement?

*The sentence marked here is entirely untrue.
