Second-I got stopped at border control today without my passport. Thought I was going to be thrown in jail...I lucked out because my manager was there and she sweet talked me through (getting stopped, thrown out of the car I was in, going to the border control office, and getting through the 'check point' took all of five minutes).

Third-think i found the first flaw in my magical yoga studio-besides being comparable to NY prices, the classes are the same!? What!? So I took hot yoga three times in a row and each time, it was the same routine!! Is that normal? Next up, power yoga-

Fourth-my cooking is slowly turning from nasty to somewhatvaguely yummy. Tonight's delicious meal was mushrooms, bean sprouts and beef...cooked in olive oil, garlic and soy (the only 'sauces' I have in my house.

Fifth-went out with my friends this weekend and my friend Aaron decided that he was going to wear an LED headlight (the kind that you strap to your head). Aaron wore this damn thing in the taxi to which the taxi cab driver pulled out his own LED flashlight to play show-and-tell. The cab ride became even more interesting when Aaron started shining his 'head' light on other people in passing cars. He later busted it out at dinner...yes..you can see he is checking out something very important. After dinner, we met a total random who rode the bike from Cypris to Shenzhen...he welded this thing himself!! Aaron stopped, made me take a picture and ditched all 5 of us to ride this crazy contraption.

Sixth-I lost 10RMB in a bet...
Ok so what are the lyrics? "Rider IN the storm" or "Riders ON the storm"?

yeah well despite listening to the song through out my childhood, it was 'Riders ON the storm."

Seventh-Shout out to Jen-She is responsible for the Stephen Colbert agreeing with me and bringing my points about manners into the public eye!

What was that Steve? You hate the nose picking and ruthless staring too!?

Oh and can I add the sneezing and coughing WITHOUT EVEN TRYING OR MAKING ANY EFFORT TO COVER YOUR MOUTH. yuck.

..and add the 'almost hitting you with a car or other large moving object while staring'.
