Why discriminate against tourists (see rule 3)? I saw another sign that discriminated against people who were having a heart attack and drunken people. That makes a bit more sense to me, but what have tourists ever done to merit such prohibition?

Check out the last part of the intro statement. "To carry out tanning of the Current Tickets." I haven’t taken my tickets to the tanning bed in so long. They’re getting quite pale. I like Rule 4, too. "The ticket will be useless after being punched three times." I think I may have a career…

A friend of mine from my formative years in Florida recently started his own blog. Most call him Shoof or (if you dare) The Shoof. He now lives in Texas and looks suspiciously much like a Storm Trooper (I kid you not; go check out his Blogger Profile.) He also has the notorieity (correct me…

I tried to avoid it as long as I could. People (expats that is) kept saying, "Have you been to the good DVD store near KFC? They have a lot of cheap DVDs in English there." Then they would show me the latest treasures they had unearthed there…the latest and greatest Hollywood movies (some of…

A few days ago I posted my daily schedule so that you could get a sense for what I’ve been up to. Since then it has come to my atention that many people are more curious about my wife Christa’s daily schedule. There are many reasons why I am not able to provide such a…

Today in class we learned words used for telling time in Chinese. (Watch out second graders, I’m hot on your trail.) As part of this time-telling exercise, we had to tell our teacher (laoshi — pronounced lao-sure) what our daily timetable looked like. It was so thrilling for me that I knew it would be…

Well, our leak isn’t fixed. It’s a ridiculous situation that gets more ridiculous with each passing day. Guess we’ll be calling the Head Honcho tomorrow to see what his latest story will be… Meanwhile, I was listening to a favorite group that I hadn’t listened to in a while earlier tonight. One of their songs…

Well, we had about 20 kids from our expat community over to celebrate an American-style harvest festival. In many ways it felt like total chaos (the adults were desperately outnumbered) but all things considered it was a great party. Fun was had by all. It took us a while to cut out and hang all…
