Le Tired

Have finally arrived in the Motherland. No, not that one. And not Taiwan, either. I'm talking 'bout motherland of motherlands. I am presently in Shanghai. In about 10 days, I'll be in the rural farmlands to the northwest where I don't know if I'll be able to update. For the next few days, however, I'll have internet access. No pictures though, we're still working on that. And yes, that was a use of the royal 'we.'

What have I been up to in the past week? Taiwan, that's what's up. Ate an incredible amount of food there (including one involuntary visit to Pizza Hut- what?) and had my weight commented on by quite a few relatives, including ailing grandmother. Awesome. Also had iced Heineken green tea. It tasted interesting, pretty much like lemon iced tea but because there was Heineken in it, they charged a little more. Got my annual summer haircut by brutal Chinese hair dresser. You know, I think I'm quite afraid of Taiwanese hair dressers. They really break you down before they build you up and convince you that your new haircut makes you look incredibly gorgeous. And well, haven't I always been incredibly gorgeous? Oh yeah, I also got lost at a night market and bought some cheap faux-Chucks. What have you been up to*?

*Don't really care to know, just a formality more than anything else.
