Traditionally, the birthday child or person slurps longevity noodles with their family. After cooking longevity noodles, celebrators eat long noodles and have to be careful not to break them, just eating them as one continuous strand. Usually, one single noodle will fill up a whole cup. These noodles are also known as long-life noodles or 伊面 yī miàn.

08-05 20:23

I will be back home next Monday.
08-05 20:23
Hawaii_Steve:
Rush, tell me about it. It’s 3:23 in Hawaii.
08-05 20:24

TYSM to Matt for being there tonight, “just in case”!
I wasn’t sure I would be able to be here.

08-05 20:25
Hawaii_Steve:
Is your laptop and phone charged to the max?
08-05 20:25

08-05 20:25

Being many pens to USC. Just in case.
08-05 20:25
Rush:
Yes.
And the charging cables will be with me!
08-05 20:26
Rush:
I think they only allow the pencils that they give out there.
You can imagine!
08-05 20:26
Hawaii_Steve:
Don’t be surprised if you do not find the missing dialogue. After all, you are looking for a needle in a haystack.
08-05 20:26
Rush:
Back when I went there in the past, it was 3×5 note cards and golf pencils!
08-05 20:27
Hawaii_Steve:
Ah. LOL. I remember that.
08-05 20:27

I have been thinking about that!
08-05 20:27

That’s why I hope to have a copy of the “Dialogue From the Screen”
We will see…
08-05 20:28
Rush:
I requested everything they have on “The Black Camel.”
08-05 20:28
Rush:
A few other things as well.
08-05 20:28
Hawaii_Steve:
Ask to see correspondence from the screenwriters too. When they arrived in Hawaii, TBC is incomplete.
08-05 20:29
Rush:
But the focus is “The Black camel”
08-05 20:29
Rush:
Hopefully any of that, if they have it, will be included in the “Black Camel” materials.
08-05 20:29
Hawaii_Steve:
Yes, “Camel” is the prime focus.
08-05 20:30
Rush:
Possibly a follow-up trip can be possible in the future, if needed.
We will be back here at some point for sure.
08-05 20:31
Rush:
Well, I should be going. Family to visit with!
I will be in touch!
Take care…and THANK YOU!
08-05 20:31
Rush:
(As always!)
08-05 20:31
Hawaii_Steve:
All correspondence from the Black Camel is 93 years old now. You don’t know what kind of shape it is in. Ask them if there is restricted material related to the film.
08-05 20:32
Rush:
Restricted material?
08-05 20:32
Hawaii_Steve:
Please feel free to text me tomorrow. I will be waiting for your text.
08-05 20:32
Rush:
Will do!
Take care….good night!
Back to you tomorrow!
08-05 20:33
