Bird's Nest


The Chinese delicacy 'bird's nest soup' is derived from the bird's nest constructed with the saliva of swifts. The cost of such a delicacy can cost between $30-10,000US per kilo. I've never had a bowl of such soup, however Mam called my hairdo a bird's nest or lan-nok last week.

I hadn't cut my hair since December. The last time I was in Thailand. Five months growth wasn't impressive, but I will be heading out to California and I'm keeping my bird's nest as I return to hippie status.

Even as much as I love Mem. And not only in words.

Bird's Nest


The Chinese delicacy 'bird's nest soup' is derived from the bird's nest constructed with the saliva of swifts. The cost of such a delicacy can cost between $30-10,000US. I've never had a bowl of such soup, however Mam called my hairdo a bird's nest or lan-nok last week. I hadn't cut my hair since December. The last time I was in Thailand. Five months growth wasn't impressive and her comment had me hurrying to the hair salon. Within an hour my bird's nest was on the floor of the beauty shop. My return to hippie status thwarted by simple words from someone born 16 yearsa fter the Summer of Love. I do love her. And not only in words.
