I'm happy to report, amazingly enough, that your posts haven't driven me to quit my job and abandon my life...yet. This business of kiwi juice, tot-donuts, and penny loafers near put me over the edge though.

They have the best lao (1) mian. Also, at the bottom of the oriental tower there is a wax and history musuem thats kinda cool. make sure you soak all this culture in....cause when you get back in the states, the first thing you'll see is something about britney and her babies. Kinda depressing. i don’t really have anything to say, but i thought i’d leave you a comment cause i know how these little things feed your soul more than a xiao long bao! if you get a chance, go to crystal jade palace (i believe) in xin tian di.
