It actually says that monkey brains are a delicacy in some parts of China. Although seeing monkeys wearing helmets
would definitely be far odder. ¡Espero que estés disfrutando del castellano!

I think the idea was that if monkey brains are a delicacy then they should be using helmets to help prevent their brains from being eaten. Spanky chose to translate the idea at the expense of being slightly less literal :P

Even if i don't have much to say, i really enjoy reading your log.

Gracias as always for the kind words Crush, and Vos, thanks, I am enjoying
español and I am jealous of your focus, something I lack entirely for the most part. I
hope soon to be writing more en español (pero no es posible ahora) and I will be
grateful for any and all corrections when I misstep, which I plan on doing so much
perhaps I (rather than the monkees*) should be wearing the helmet

*just for a change of pace, I thought I would go with this spelling of Monkees, as in
The, as my minor nostalgic nod to many wasted afternoon tv sessions in my youth.
The Monkees

Of interest:   Solamente una bandera nacional es un color sólido – la bandera verde

Also: el rojo es el color más común en las banderas nacionales

Say Something in Spanish, unit 1.   Audio format, different and more useful for me at
my stage than Notes in Spanish – focussed for ½ hour on just a very few words, and
requesting an active involvement rather than passive reception.
