In one cab ride, all of Beijing: Driver quoted ancient Chinese poetry, almost collided into a police car, pointed out temples, honked a lot |
Pure Lotus Vegetarian: Worth the flight to Beijing just to go here. Fancy restaurants and veggie options here are INSANE! Pics to come |
@AnnieR Indeed we should swap tales! I'm visiting the Hong Kong areas and Beijing this trip. Tomorrow, Tiananmen Square & Olympic grounds |
SHENZHEN, CHINA—Bustling beauty salon with chandeliers & cartoon Year of the Rat posters, staffed by men in camo aprons, defies everything.... |
My HK visit turned into a hunt for a certain scarf made of dozens of bunny-like furry balls, sold by street vendors. I NEED MY BUNNY BALLS |
Got my hands on a directory of all the vegetarian-only restaurants in Hong Kong. There are /hundreds/! Thank God for Buddhism :-P |

@myfourcats it's so true :D. Hoping to have my own snuggly kitten some day. Gotta convince wolf-boy. |
Pretty sure @myfourcats followed me just because I have a cat in my avatar. Alas, being tragically catless, I have no cat tweets to offer. |
Just attempted to literally kick my own butt. Success! I also feel a lot more awake now, for some reason. |
Mood: sleepy. Reality: by 10am I have to turn this pile of clay, wire, and felt into something I can submit as art. ::kicking own butt:: |
@uliwitness Masters of the Void is awesome, thanks for maintaining it! Really liked the memory chapter |
@sarahmei Aww :). Congrats! |
@importantshock Hey, congrats on the Apple internship! Sorry the rest of your week's been sounding pretty bad... hang in there! |
