Fitches!

    After a recent trip to the Zhonghuamen (a later blog post, I hope), I decided I would like to get into Bonsai.  So, I bought a plant.  A really cool one.

It is a 榆树 or Chinese Elm.

I got it from a cool store across the street that specializes in hydroponics.  The coolest part is that you can have fish swimming around in the water!

I have one orange fish and one yellow fish.  I'm waiting to see if they live for a week or two before I give them names (there has been some bad luck with pets around here lately).  For now, I refer to them as my fitches.

All in all, I'm more than satified with my new friends.  They bring some life and cheer to my room!
