Symbiosis

A lowly duck hitching a ride on a Swan's back

I have seen symbiosis within animal kingdom often. I bird picking lice from a water buffalo's body. A bird cleaning out a cow's nostril. This is the first time I saw two water fowls in a symbiotic relationship.

Among humans it has been reduced to something ugly which we commonly know as "quid pro quo".

Correction:

After I posted this I found out that I have been duped!!! The Swan is not real! It is fake and is kept floating to scare off the geese who have become a nuisance in the area.

Kinamand-Chinaman

Last night we saw a very simple Danish movie. Slow paced story runs like this:  a plumber, Keld,  is surprised to hear that his wife of long time wants to walk out on him on an adultery charge which he has not committed. She wants $8,000 to set him free. Lonesome plumber now decides to dine every night at a local Chinese Grill where he befriends the owner, Feng, who has an ulterior motive. Feng agrees to give Keld $8,000 on the condition.................


I liked the movie very much but adored the music even more. There is something very poignant about Chinese music.
