Sunday was boring the hell out of me so i labored to get myself out of bed and go take some photos and try and enjoy myself some. I jumped on the only bus i sort of know and headed in a direction i have never been before. It ended up being pretty similar to the rest of town. I did see the olympics facility that they are building (it acutally looked like they just started). It supposed to be run by wind and stuff, but I would not be surprised if they pull backa curtain and they have 1000 chinese on bikes making power. But i also got some pictures of some dudes squid kite that he left on cruise control. I then went to the dock area and as soon as this dude saw my camrea he insisted i take a photo of his crabs. The lighting kind of made it look cool.
thats really all, not much more to say.

an introduction to my thrown.



well i know it may seem weird to talk about your bathroom. but the "can" is something most people take for granted. In China you have many types, from insanely elegant to a hole in the ground, and i have tried them all but really wish i had not tried to later. but here is the one in my current residence. The washing machine is not a permanent fixture, it is moved in and out as i need it to be. But the one main difference that my place has that the many places dont is that i have to fill the washer up, and on top of that i have to fill a bucket with water from the sink every time i want to flush the toilet. which seems crude but is really not that bad when you think about it. It is kind of a bitch to wash my clothes in hot water, but i figured out that since the shower is just right there i can just use that water to fill the washer when hot water is a must. It weird when you start to feel like a western toilet is a gift not a necessity.

Burn one down

there is a custome in China to burn money for the people in your family that have died. Apparently the after life is pretty boring if you aint got the loot. So people buy fake money and burn that shit down to mourn thiet loved ones. Seems kind of weird to me, but hell when in ROme right? So about a week ago, i have no idea why, everyone in my neighborhood took part in some good old money burning. Later that night I found some non burnt Benjermins on the ground and took them home. I hope it is not a bad omen to steal a dead persons fake money.
I then burnt the hell out of it (DUHHH). man it feels like i am burning threw money these days.
god i am lame!

浪费时间





你好
so i was bored and took some pictures of some random crap that i found interesting or funny. the can of fruit juice was just so damn funny the first time i saw it i had to buy it. It tasted weird, but not too bad.
then there is the basketball magazine. I bought it some for practice, but got aggtivated because they have really bad chinese names for every one. i.e Kobe is 抠比(kou bi) which sounds like his name, but it has no meaning and in chinese you dont capitalize. so imagine running into a name like Zydrunas Illguaskis but in chinese. So i gave up. but the cover is awesome because Kobe plays for the lakers (the yellow jersey) and has never worn the red Bulls jersey. Its completely Photoshopped. Also it would be hella illegal in the states to do that, considering they just faked a photo of him. And i doubt he is getting paid for that shit.
then there is the money. dont know why i took a photo of it. Really its just to illustrate the whole Quantity vs. Quality issue. but then again i normally use the dollar and that is not worth the paper it is printed on.
then we have just a creepy artsy shot of the street i live on, at around 3am. just bored walking back from a 酒吧,
i hopefully will have something good to tell everyone next week! keep your fingers crossed.


edit: next time i will try and make sure the photos are not in the wrong directon.
