Giedre tyttö Leijonakaupungista

Desaru - where my heart belongs..

Some people say that meat-eaters diet is more nutritious, I don't necessarily agree, just that the food is of a better color sometimes.. :) After arguing whether killing cats as an art performance is acceptable sometime in May (no, I don't think it is acceptable), I didn't eat meat (unless unknowingly) until now. Don't feel that I miss out on something. Leijonakaupunki is an easy place for non-meat-eater - lots of options for Indian, Chinese (many of them are Buddhist) food. Such a gluton I became.. :)

My EP (Employment Pass) has been approved (visgi jie galvoja, kad as tinkama destyti sioje visuomeneje, o, jeigu jie tik zinotu apie sita bloga, niekada neleistu daryti klastingos itakos ju jaunimui... siis ne luule etta ma on sopiva opettaja niiden nuorisolle, ah, jos ne vain lueskelisi eneman tata blogia, ei antaisi korumpoida niiden tulevaisuutta.. :)!!! So I will start working from this Wednesday 1st December. Can't tell you how much I'm looking forward to that! Enough of staring at computer screen among 4 walls (I guess, I'll get to stare at the same screen in a much more disturbed environment from now on.. :) But I'm happy happy and excited! Juu! (I wonder how we'll arrange our daily chores.. So far Kaj has been "feeding us", I was shopping :)

The highlight of last week was the visit to Desaru on Sunday. Because of monsoon it rains every day, at night, in the morning or in the afternoon, so it was a great luck that the weather was good during the first half a day.

Some people asked me "what is the whole point of going to Leijonakaupunki if its so bad" (yeah, that's my critical sister again.. :), I guess you may get this picture (mind me, I'm seriously over-emphasizing some parts to make it more dramatic) from my blog. But in reality, although there are quite a few things that I'd like to improve in this society (zodzhio laisve, pvz.. esimerkiksi sanan vapaus..), it is very very tolerable. I mean, Malaysia is just 45min away.. :) As long as we can get to Desaru once in a while on Sundays, that beats Finnish November big time, not even talking about Lithuanian November (cold like in Finland, heating like in Central Europe, brrr...) Kaj's colleagues know almost all the surfers on the beach, so we're also treated with genuine interest, people are relaxed and chat to each other a lot.

Vienas veikejas, kuri sutikom praeita sekmadieni Desaru dirba destytoju Liutamiescio policijoje ir labai noriai dalinosi ziniomis apie Liutamiescio kalejimus ar fizines bausmes, kaip pvz plakimas rykstemis. Uz visokius pazeidimus (pvz uz grafiti, uz nelegalu sienos perzengima, etc) cionais galima gauti pvz 4 ar 21 rykstes. Skamba gal nelabai baisiai, bet tu ryksciu smugiai tokie stiprus, kad paprastai oda plysta iki mesu ir randai lieka visam gyvenimui. Tas veikejas pvz aiskino, kaip plakejai treniruojasi, kad ryksciu smugiai butu dailiai vienas po kito lygiagreciai suguldyti. Jei nusikaltelis nualpsta pvz po 3ju smugiu, o yra nubaustas 4iems, tas vienas likes smugis bus atidetas iki rytojaus. 20 smugiu gali testis kokias 5ias dienas. Jei esi nubaustas priedo keleta metu kalejimo, gali rinktis, kada nori gauti rykstes, kalejimo pradzioj ar vidury. Kaliniai taip pat negali sportuoti, jei priziuretojai pastebes, kad pvz darai atsilenkimus, kalejimo laikas bus pratestas 1 savaite.. Policininkai, kurie nusizengia, gauna dvigubai visko, kalejimo laiko, ryksciu ir piniginiu baudu.. Ir taip toliau ir panasiai.. Kaip jums tai patinka?

Eilen biitsilla tavattiin yhden kaverin joka on toissa poliisi koulussa. Han tosi ystavalisesti kerroi paljon juttuja Leijonakaupungin vankiloista ja piiskamisesta. Leijonakaupungissa jos teet jotain lain vastaan (esimerkiksi piirtat grafitin tai laitomasti menet rajan yli, etc), voit saada piiskamista, esimerkiksi 4 tai 20 iskua. Ehka ei kuulosta liian pelottavalta, mutta iskut ovat tosi vahvat - iho ja lihat aukee. Toi kaveri kerroi paljon, kuinka piiskajat harjoittelevat etta iskujen merkit olisi kaunisti yksi toisen jalken paralelisesti tehdyt. Jos sa pyoryt esimerkiksi 3 iskujen jalken ja pitaisi saada 4, ne odottavat toista paivaa ja teke tuon yhden iskun erikseen (siis pitaisi olla hereilla ja omassa mielessa). Jos saat 20 iskua, se voi kesta 5 paivaa. Kun allat vankilassa istumisen, voit valita haluatko saada piskamista heti tai termin keskella ja niin pois pain.. Vankilassa ei saa harjoitella urheilua, jos ne huomaa etta teet sit-ups, esimerkiksi, sun vankila aika on pidenetty viikoksi. Jos oot toissa poliisissa, kaikkia saa tuplaa - vankila aikaa, piiskamisesta ja rahalisia "penalty".. Voi voi, mika maa, mikat tavat.. Miten kuulosta?

At the end of the day everybody was so tired in the stupid giggling way. It started with Gary looking like a monster on a gothic cathedral and continued to complete weirdness.. Fity said that according to Chinese superstition, you can't take a picture of 3 people, its has to be a pair. 1 is also ok, but not 3. Because the friends would break up and fall apart. Ah, so many things to keep in mind being superstitious.. :) I slept really well last night... But today I'm aching after all this paddling on body-board for hours...
