Moments of Zen

“You are a waste of beautiful things.”
The best mixed compliment I’ve received in my life. My big eyes, long eyelashes, and long, thick hair are a constant source of annoyance to my many female coworkers. When I have to retie my hair at work, the girls make big, annoyed sighs and stamp about* because my [...]
Christmas Two, Photodump: Wherein I Make an Ass of Me

Ah.. Christmas. In China. Working for privately owned training school. If there’s one thing that didn’t fully dawn on me until it was too late, it was how severely I and the other foreigners here would be used as marketing stooges by the school.

Inevitabilities, or “Good good study day day up”

Well. It happened… I guess it was bound too, considering how much exposure I’ve had, lately:
