avila - bull and bullshit

they arrived at avila, a city within a castle at 6.30pm, got down from the bus outside the castle, and had to walk 10 minutes to the hotel in the castle. he and video tan were left behind because they were too busy taking pictures.

video tan is 60 something, thin, and looked and talked like the singapore tv actor, liu chianyi. he liked to take video with his video cam. even recorded the dvd show they watched in the bus. when asked why he recorded the dvd show.... he said...."hahahah.... just my habit lah." so they called him video tan.

he had a brother, in his 40's, unmarried, with him in this tour. the younger tan always looked tired, not interested much in the scenery and activities so far. people went factory-sale shopping, he got himself waited under the rain, alone....

people asked him why he wanted to come. he said, "spain, heard got bull fighting, but can only see the rings. where's the bulls?"

"the bulls... not in season now." the tour leader said.

"then why you did not tell me when i asked before i bot the package. you must be bullshitting me..."

- people come to see the bull killed for entertainment..... anything wrong? just like eating shark fin, anything wrong? like killing the whale for meat..... like eating caviar... like, like burning the trees to grow crops for subsistence, like digging the oil for energy, like using water to flush the toilet, like using tissue paper to wipe your ass....... like bullshitting in broad daylight!
