Pikmin

In my days prior to sport, I was quite a gamer. One of my favourites was an interesting title by the King himself – Shigeru Miyamoto (or “Shigs” for short). I suggest you google the title before continuing and pay close attention to screenshots.

A British couple from Essex (judging from their accents), perhaps in their late 50s suggested that a 99 baht all-you-can-eat restaurant down the road, was a good choice. They completely neglected to mention the mechanics of the place though. Entering, the Muslim girls offer us a seat. Seeming more reserved than their Buddhist counterparts, a heated plate with soup bowl atop is presented on the table and plugged in to the overhead socket.

Cook your own meat, whilst the soup simmers away. I think I’ll try some Chicken Liver, chopped breast meat and Prawns, from the selection. It’s all wonderfully flavoursome, but more intriguing were the ants that decided to tackle a feat of logistics that would take humans weeks of planning.

I must have inadvertently dropped a part of the Prawn on the chair, but nothing goes to waste here. I’m not sure whether it will be consumed or broken down and used for construction, but in an instant it’s picked up and marched back. I broke off several other pieces and all were recycled with pure dedication. If only we could be this organised.
