Imagine you have ordered a delicious plate of large, fresh, tasty, greasy, home-style French Fries (or "chips" if you live on certain other islands.) You’re ordering from Xining, by the way, so you’re already feeling very delighted to be able to order such western luxuries… Then imagine that your order comes out looking something like…

Have you ever seen this guy before? His name (I just discovered) is Lefty. He used to show up on occasion on The Muppets / Sesame Street. If my memory serves, this infamous fellow would often beckon a gullible soul (like Ernie) into an alley or side-street in order to sell him something (i.e. the…

Congrats to my mom on her one-year bloggiversary! She posted a nice picture of a familiar yeti in his formative years–which you can check out here… "Oh sure, laugh it up, fuzzball!" The obsession with hairy folks started at a young age. What can I say?

As you can see I’ve been on a bit of a Delirious? kick lately with my music listening. I think I speak for the whole family when I say the last few weeks have been a somewhat emotional time in our cross-cultural journey. It almost feels like a second wave of culture shock. There is…
