sorry i haven't been blogging as much lately, as the weather gets nicer it seems i have less to complain about. but i will share this. riding the bus home friday, i was talking to mafeng about the next language to learn after english to be successful in business. one girl shouted "japanese" from the front of the bus. i was about to say the one thing i know in japanese, which is "gay bar wah, doe ko deska" ("where is the gay bar?"), but decided against it. then mafeng shared that he knew one thing, and started speaking some japanese. sidebar: japanese sounds so cool! anyway, i asked him what it meant, and he said "we are all workers here together." those communists! they don't ever stop!
