One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Okay, I need to take this time to tell you a funny story that I need to share. Okay, so one day I was in Marino Del Ray California with family to just explore. We stopped by this restaurant by the ocean, near a loading dock. It was a nice-looking place.

But anyway, this way back when Pokémon Go was really huge. This part doesn’t have to do with the story, but I wanted to include it anyway. Btw I am NOT a super Pokémon fan lol, I know what it is, that’s all. I was just following the trend. Anyway, I ended up spending $100 on that game to catch crabs Pokémon since I was in front of an actual crab tank ha-ha. Anyway, I’m getting off topic.

So, we order food at the restaurant, everyone orders grilled fish except for me who just gets a burger (lol so much for immersion). Anyway we eat and just about finish. I notice that everyone else ate every part of the fish except the head, as one would normally do. This whole time, there were these vicious seagulls trying to steal bits and pieces of everyone’s food. So…. me being the curious person that I am, I wanted to see if the seagulls would eat bits of pieces of the fish’s head. I was expecting them to just bite off a small piece, but I underestimated them!

They snagged that huge fish headpiece out of my hand and started flying away toward the sea! The other seagulls began to attack it so it flies back into the dining area before attempting to fly off again toward the sea. At this point, the funniest thing ever in my life happened =).

The seagull dropped the giant fish head, and it (no lie) landed straight into another guest's soda cup drink. I saw everything happen. It was a perfect shot! The orange soda splashed all over the table and all the guests, breaking the plastic cup as well. The person who was holding the cup got hit with it the most and was drenched in orange soda! I began to laugh hysterically but also tried to hold it in as it would most definitely give me away. As I snuck away, the person never found out who gave the fish head to the seagull. She was just holding the fish and I guess as laughing as well. I never felt so bad before in my whole.

To the girl who I dropped orange soda on, I am so sorry. But I’m also glad you were able to laugh as well =).

What I Can Share with Hosts

If you guys know any foreign languages, specifically Spanish, Korean, Chinese, Japanese, French, or Italian, then I can more than happily spend time practicing with you, language exchange style. If you know another language, I will happily be your student haha.

Yo but if you guys want anything from Los Angeles, hit me up beforehand. I’ll be glad to try and get what you need. Since it’s LA, everything can likely be found here lol.

If you want me to teach you how crypto works and how to join the digital revolution, that’s another useful skill I can teach you. I promise it’s not complicated, just requires a few steps and some explanations. Plus I guess I can share with you a small amount to get you started. Plus things like, what are altcoins, places to spend crypto, places to buy crypto, how to sell it, etc.

But mostly, I can share with you the experience of a great guest in your home. There is a ton that I want to learn and I can’t wait to learn from you! Whatever you want to teach me, I am all ears. I am patient and love meeting new people. I am open-minded and not afraid to discuss both sides of subjects. Or if you just want to have a cool guest in your home, that would be me haha.
