back in business! well maybe you didn't know that i was out of business, but for the past week i've been cooped up at home with the flu. this was my first time being sick since i've started working, and really its terrible. every day i would wake up and feel like i should try to go to work, but then i knew i just couldn't. and i was freaked that my boss would think i was just playing hooky or i wasn't that committed to the job or anything. but i guess he understood, probably helped by the fact that i came in on wednesday and then had to go home because i felt like i was gonna throw up (and probably looked like it).
andddd, on a completely unrelated note, i have discovered that there is REAL pizza in beijing. well i mean, i didn't discover it, someone told me about it, but now i know that it's out there! unfortunately, it's in Wudaokou, which is on the other side of Beijing. it's the area that has Beijing University and Qinghua University and all the other universities, otherwise known as the trendy hipster area where all the college kids hang out. and so this pizza place, called the Kro's Nest, has these huge pies that actually look like american pizza. i'm not gonna say its good pizza, or that it's real new york pizza. it reminds me of the pizza that we used to order in college. but, despite being from brooklyn, the home of some of the best pizza in the world, i am not a pizza snob. i accept all kinds of pizza. and there are even certain other pizza places in beijing that i don't mind. and so i will be happy for this small victory, a reminiscent flavor that brings to mind the magnificent pizzas of my homeland.

how could you grow up walking distance from Grimaldi's and be satisfied with any bread, cheese, tomato sauce American style combo?
