I ventured to Chinatown to pick up some Green Green. One 35mL bottle was only 75¢, but I wish I had a camera on me at the time. I wanted to take a picture of the wall of ‘lucky bamboo.’ It was humbling to be in the presence of so many sizes and varieties of healthy looking ‘lucky’. I’m pretty sure this is where my ‘lucky’ came from. I looked deep into many of the dishes to see how much water or what techniques they were using, but I didn’t learn much. None of them were using fertilizer, just water. A couple dishes were even dry. What gives? I’ll have to go back sometime when it’s not busy and try to pick the owner’s brains.

I meandered around the rest of the store. The shops are like a Goodwill/thrift store. You never know what cool things you’re going to find. I surveyed the plant dishes and vases, but nothing caught my eye. I went to the back and found some sandals. I thought, “I could really use some sandals come summertime,” but I moved on instead. Then, I saw them. The most sweet pair of kicks. They looked just like the oldskool low cut Converse, but they were “Tiger Paw’s”. I checked out the price, and they were only $5.99. Hell Yes. I had to dig deep in the pile to find some 10.5′s, since the majority of the shoes were 6-9. Silly Asians and their tiny feet.

So, I made my way back home and fed the ‘lucky’. I gave it a few extra drops of Green Green to get it back on track. I’m also wearing the kicks around the apartment to get them broken in.
