He was being a world class rear end in a top hat to these Mexican people I saw a few times a week because I usually ate in their place after bartending, and they were sitting there just miserably kind of taking it and I got a little peeved about it.

Out of curiosity, were you rewarded or banned for your chivalry?

There was an article on the paper today on how China casually uses colistin to treat livestock in massive amounts, ruining the only really effective antibiotic left for the whole planet.

Could we just not tell them the next time we develop one?

...Why did we tell them this time?

I'm going to try and get my wife to convince her that there are new regulations about flying with pills, etc. And that she won't be able to bring any.

TCM doesn't work in Canada because maple trees interfere with Qi.



Congrats on the new job. :toot:

I understand they're just toeing the party line, but didn't the Dalai Lama in fact have slaves and serfs and punishments involving the gouging out of eyes?

Day X7 Year 2XXX The face loss strikes back


Brought a bunch of Hong Kong Tourist T-shirts @ 5 for $100 NZD in Mong Kok which is steal in NZ and quite frankly bargaining on this would have been absurd. Would have brought another set had I had more people to give them to. Hmm, might get more anyway as they make great gifts.


Isn't that absurdly expensive? NZD and USD aren't that far apart, and you can get souvenir t-shirts 3 for $10 in San Francisco.


I have recently fallen in love with Taiwanese Snow. Is it very common over there, or still kinds of a novelty?


Hawaiian Shave Ice is still the best Pacific Rim frozen dessert.:3:

I've been through your airports and to the Cook Islands, but nothing there really seemed overpriced at the time, but you're the native, I'm not.:)

60 RMB a bowl and they wanted 20+ for a single naan.

Can I just divide these numbers by 6, rounding down and end up somewhere close to USD?

A man I met at a social function tried to convince me that China is far ahead of the US in their space program.

He also said that by the end of the year we could launch to Mars. From the Moon.
