Eh, a video! and about Betel Nut! This one’s too nice to be kept private (:$).

So, here it is, from the outskirts of An Nan’s Lu-er-man Temple in Tai-nan Shi, we give you John & Fili’s Betel Nut extravaganza:

It’s funny watching that video. It seems so long ago. I have some ideas for new ones that might be funny. Let’s see when you get back. Check your comments for spam. Seems several have passed through.
