Macau Update

Is it weird that I pay people to wash my hair? I love getting my hair washed by a salonist it's just not the same when I wash it myself. Well, aside from getting my hair washed at the salon daily, I have so far been to... Taipei, Macau, Shen wan, Seki, Zhong Shan, Tan zhou, Guang Zhou and of course Hong Kong.

My parents have been dragging me back and forth in and out of their hometowns, but pretty interesting. Although relatives here may criticize and pick on me sometimes, it's probably just for fun, at least I'm gonna believe so and not think twice. The best part is when they adore me (:

I don't really know what my point was, but yeah I'm about half way through this trip and I'll be home soon. Hmm.. what is "home" really?

Shenwan Update

17° C!!!

Since I've been here the weather has been nothing but stormy and cold. I did not enjoy the long 11 hour flight to Taiwan, the short stay there and in Hong Kong, and I definately disfavor the ferry ride from Hong Kong to Zhong Shan, but that's about all I didn't like. Just note... heights and water aren't the only thing I'm afraid of. Visiting family and friends of my family can become extremely painful and nearly intolerable, but I can't say I hate it as much as I hate the methods of transportation or that I even hate it at all. I suppose the most unfortunate affair is that my itinerary doesn't even seem to have sleep listed.

Today I managed to flee from the recent routine. Although travelling with your parents requires a lot of giving into what they want to do, especially if you're going to their home country, I sincerely admit my visit has been awesome.

Guess what...? I am in quite an upbeat mood, that is, for now. The wait of this highly anticipated approaching vacation was pure torture. Every week day hour minute and second of the anxiety and impatience felt can fill your gas tank and run your car. I know.. I am powerful, giving, blatantly awesome, and now I'm even defying the laws of physics, nature, and who knows what's next? I don't. Hahaha I'm pretty crazy...

I had so much to protest, but all disatisfactory thoughts have been liberated from my once inflammed mentality because I will be in foreign territory soon! Excited would be an understatement under my circumstances. I should really be working on my philosophy paper, but I think I will take a four hour nap after this blog to leave me with enough time to take a shower before I head to the airport.

Today was extremely unproductive, but that's okay. I'm satisfied because Kat, Char, and I each got to enjoy one of those delectable $1.50 hot dogs that includes a drink with free refills at Costco. Yes, I am advertising their hotdogs. They are amazing. Go try one.

Oh yeah, I also went to Alicia's house to grab my ipod (and show off my new camera).

She wanted to be the first picture taken
with my new camera, but she was too late... Mwahaha...

Another Year

Thanks to everybody who wished me a happy birthday yesterday!
