I'm eisenengel on that one. Old account that I haven't cared enough to kill off, so that's that. I found my camera yesterday, so I think I'm going to start using it again.
oh man, I need a flickr to flood with pix. there is Engrish everywhere here, not to mention totally off-the-wall shit. like on a nearby street some guy hawking herbs and weird medicine laid out on the ground a big picture-emblazoned poster of various wounds and someone's rancid, festering asshole. and in the grocery store we saw a hot-colored bike helmet with a knockoff Pokemon character screaming with huge electric-blue dilated eyes, surrounded by mushrooms. ps I'm Christine, I found you off my old friends list, this is the only "blog" site that isn't blocked in China.
Whoa it is you, sorry. Yeah! Pleaseeeee take pictures of stuff there, and get a few shots of what rot-gut Chinese booze looks like. (Yes, I haven't changed since we used to hang out.)
"I accidentally swallowed a mouthful of shower water this week, which resulted in days of recurrent diarrhea." ... Jesus H. Christ, hahaha... wow. I had been fascinated for a while about various toilet/commode designs from around the world as well, and maybe it's just a "Western world" thing, but Chinese toilets seem to be the most primitive in design.
Oh, and fuck the US for having such bad musical exports. Nickleback, Linkin Park... Eminem? You should leave your students mix CDs with some lovely post-punk and such from the 80s/90s. Imagine the effect it will have.
