The Gimmick
My dad arrived in Shanghai two days ago. God bless mom and Mat for with my dad came a new set of underwear and two newly burned CD's. One was a compilation of latest hip hop and r&b (Marvin, you were so right that I'd crack) and the other was a compilation of music from the Dave Matthews Band. Chris, you know what I mean when I say how terrible life is without Dave. SH doesn't believe in Dave yet, so if you come, come armed.
With dad, I went to a small town just west of SH called Zhou Zhong. It's an ancient town located with over 900 years of history and has become a big tourist attraction. I wish I knew where I could find some drive space to post pictures because Zhou Zhong was truly a beautiful place. It surrounds a small river on both sides and paddling through made it seem like Venice in China. If anyone knows where I can post pictures on the net, let me know because I've found a place with a scanner.
A couple weeks ago, I was shopping for souvenirs and found a bunch of small plastic figurines for my two baby cousins. One was a row of Pokemon figurines, and the other was a set of Hello Kitty ones. I got pretty smashed at Forest's party and don't know how I came up with the bright idea of using the 9 Hello Kitty figurines to help me meet people at the Hello Kitty pajama party on Saturday. Guys, let me tell you, it was the easiest thing ever. Tapping a girl on her shoulder, Hello Kitty in hand, arm extended and, in my drunken stupour, saying, "Ni hao. Wo soong gei ni de. Ni shen me ming zi?" (Hello, a gift for you. What's your name?")
Moral of the story? Haha... this Halloween, why don't you arm yourselves with some candy? (None of that cheap caramel shyte with the Halloween wrapping though). Marvin, Andy, Chung, I better hear some good stories about this weekend in K-Town. Bring candy! Now if someone will just have a Pokemon party...
