new friends
I have been hanging out with some Korean folks recently and oddly I feel this is going to be a huge boost to my Chinese. They are at the university to study Chinese and their English is pretty much for crap, so we pretty much only talk in Chinese, cause I have NO IDEA how to speak Korean. It works out well because we all really want to improve our Chinese. Most of the time when I hang out with Chinese peeps they all really want to improve their English so they usually speak to me in English, and I get lazy and reply in English too, but this is an optimal situation, AND the few Korean folks that I am hanging out with are my age too, not some crazy rich Korean freshman pretending to learn Chinese to fulfill a college credit, not that all Korean freshmen in China are like that, but ya know, these folks are 31 and 35, still single, and a bit more pleasant to hang out with.
Going shopping to the foreign foods store this afternoon. There are a couple of birthdays this week back to back and I am giving what is most appreciated, well what I would most appreciate anyway, GOOD, non-everyday Chinese FOOD! For Joanna I am making an artichoke dip, always a crowd pleaser, and something else yummy for her birthday dinner and for Tino, it is going to be a surprise, but is sure to involve baking.

Which Survivor of the Impending Nuclear Apocalypse Are You?
A Rum and Monkey joint.
Decked in neutrality for almost a billion years now, the Swiss are always the favourites to survive any nuclear conflict. Not only do they have the most amazing dress sense, but they've also got keen technical knowhow, a very logical cultural heritage and seventeen extra feet which they keep in their heads.
The Swiss are stereotypically associated with cuckoo clocks, chocolate, fondue and yodelling; it should be pointed out that they also enjoy running through the hills, goat farming and keeping the Earth safe from alien scum.
