Today, for dinner (a second dinner, mind you), I managed to accidentally eat an eyeball, and I tried both frog legs (they were good) and turtle (there are some lines that shouldn’t be crossed). I maintain, though, I don’t like to eat things that look like themselves.

Something that started off feeling like indigestion and turned, very rapidly, into traveler’s stomach hit me hard on Sunday night after a very long, bad weekend. I slept it off through Monday and Tuesday and it was just about getting back to normal, when suddenly, this [...]]]> http://www.rah-kun.net/2010/01/a-bad-time/feed/ 1 http://www.rah-kun.net/2010/01/holiday-rush/ http://www.rah-kun.net/2010/01/holiday-rush/#comments Thu, 31 Dec 2009 17:54:36 +0000 Jayml http://www.rah-kun.net/?p=1012 Happy New Year from 13 hours in the future (by the EST reckoning, which I now tend to refer to as the “Shire reckoning” for ha has). Today has stacked up to be one of the more ironic New Year’s I’ve experienced on record.

I tell people, “I’m two minds, really, one part of me loves it here and wouldn’t mind staying a bit longer, the other part really misses Kelly and wants to be back with her.” Well, both halves [...]]]> http://www.rah-kun.net/2009/11/whirlwind-days-concerts-new-arrivals-and-bills/feed/ 4 http://www.rah-kun.net/2009/10/updates-on-cool-things/ http://www.rah-kun.net/2009/10/updates-on-cool-things/#comments Mon, 26 Oct 2009 13:10:53 +0000 Jayml http://www.rah-kun.net/?p=944 It’s always worrisome when I blow my nose and huge blood clot comes flying out with the excess.* It’s like a projectile present straight from the brain.

I’m pretty sick (see last post, beer related illness). I just woke up a couple minutes ago thinking that it was at least 6 AM after tossing and turning for what felt like all night. Then I discover that it’s actually 3 AM. I have a public demo class tomorrow afternoon, which is the [...]]]> http://www.rah-kun.net/2009/10/fever-dreams-zhongguo-style/feed/ 0 http://www.rah-kun.net/2009/10/good-prizes-bad-prizes-and-a-bus/ http://www.rah-kun.net/2009/10/good-prizes-bad-prizes-and-a-bus/#comments Sun, 25 Oct 2009 12:01:15 +0000 Jayml http://www.rah-kun.net/?p=936 If there’s any one thing that’s happened to me in China so far that has made the entire experience worth it, it’s been the connection I’ve managed to forge with this family: This is Niuhe (the patriarch in the middle), Xiaowu (younger guy to the side, my age), Aisha (little kid upon the knee, grandson), Chuanlu [...]]]> http://www.rah-kun.net/2009/10/good-prizes-bad-prizes-and-a-bus/feed/ 1 http://www.rah-kun.net/2009/10/post-wuhan-preface/ http://www.rah-kun.net/2009/10/post-wuhan-preface/#comments Mon, 05 Oct 2009 17:16:05 +0000 Jayml http://www.rah-kun.net/?p=830 I just gotta get this out of my system before I can give a decent summary of the Wuhan trip.
