Eating on a Junk

In Halong Bay we are on a Chinese junk. Our family are the only passengers on the entire boat. The crew cooks up fresh seafood for lunch. Prawns, crab, fish, squid. It is delicious. The Adolescent, ever the entrepreneur, has offered us the "privilege" of seeing him eat things never before considered, for a fee! The night before he ate a whole bowl of squid, tentacles and all! On the junk he beheads, peels and eats prawns! He is proud of his stomach of steel. At camp last month he won $5 from a friend for stuffing himself with food, spinning around 20 times looking up, spinning around the other way 20 times looking down, doing 20 jumping jacks, and then getting punched in the stomach, all without throwing up. I'm SO PROUD!
