To Recycle Or Unrecycle – That Is The Question
Thanks to the ramblings of my friends, anyone foolish enough to visit this blog recently has been provided a glimpse of the surly underbelly of life in the Far East (or at least Manny’s freakishly disturbing view of it).
In fact, I wouldn’t be the least bit surprised to read, with glaring accuracy, that TK ‘s version of the Indo-Chinese experience includes White Tigers, Lords of Death, and guys in funny suits throwing plastic explosives while poison arrows fall from the sky.
However, I found something that will hopefully change your view of the Pan-Asian cultures, and especially, how they are trying to made their world a more beautiful place.
Through the use of various trash disposal methods, including recycling and … uhh, … un-recycling.
Intriguing new garbage disposal method or incorrect English translation. Before you judge too quickly, take a close look at the symbol they use to describe “Unrecycling” and then tell me what the fuck they mean.
P.S. Yes, I’m still out of the country, incommunicado. This a delayed posting, because I just trust my friends to maintain the journalistic integrity of this blog that much.

I’m pretty sure the “Un-recycling” bin is actually a receptacle for the less profitable, hacked up remains of tourists foolish enough to choose Indo-China as a cool spot for surfing. Have fun!
Well, just like how Americans have been “ruining” British English, why can’t other nations do it then?! B-)
So, what’s going on in your little *pumpkin* now?
Unrecycle?
Does this mean you put useful things in, and then they make garbage out of it?
