Yeah the garlic bread is cheap and it's made of all the bread Chinese people don't buy so it's made of all the best bread.

So obviously someone bring the garlic bread and maybe the other bread too.

The banana bread was good.

No, but one of the girls is a friend of a friend of one of my students. The one whose dad showed up and found out bribery is illegal in the US.

There's a link to a spreadsheet in the OP with a list of long term goons (including myself) and their WeChat ID's. Add one of them and ask.

Zhongshan. There will be a bridge linking Shenzen and Zhongshan in a decade or so, but I doubt I'll be around that long. Not sure how long it would take me to go there now but it's probably doable.

It's 11:47 pm. I have to be up at 5:30 tomorrow for work. Some loving oval office has just started jackhammering the street right outside my building. And I know some bigger loving oval office in the local government authorised this because this is Shanghai and there's some semblance of rules here. I hope that mother fucker in the government contracts the first recorded case of Ebola crossed with MERS.

ironically, the protagonist of "China Mountain Zhang," 'Zhang Zhongshan,' is in fact a mexican guy whose parents had his genes altered so he'd look Chinese, and he's gay.

Check out the book, it's very good: http://www.amazon.com/China-Mountain-Zhang-Maureen-McHugh/dp/0312860986

Seconding the book recommendation. It's pretty good, even if the future it presents is more or less hilariously impossible.

Hey so my gf and I are planning a trip to HK in 2 weeks. Niether of us speak Cantonese. We're both fluent in English, and she in many more languages than I. tonight we had a discussion about what languages to use. She says she'll be okay with Mandarin on HK. Will she get hosed using Mandarin versus English in Hong Kong?
