Hehe…I figured someone would notice. (I guess that was the point) .

No, I’m not in wharton, just taking some wharton classes for which I need a wharton email account. But I thought having a wharton email would be really cool. I”m still in the engineering school – I’m a comp sci major. But being in wharton wouldn’t be so bad anyway…I know a lot of cool people there.

Hey -

Looks like your having an interesting adventure. Most Americans don’t really get a opportunity to experience a foreign culture like that. Your posts are really interested.

Anyway, whats your email address again?

1. Ben: Your e-mail address is “bension@wharton.upenn.edu.” In order to have a Wharton address, does one not have to be enrolled in Wharton? If you are a Wharton student, meaning that you have sold whatever principles you may at one time have had to spend a lifetime in pursuit of that great idol Mammon, then I really don’t think that I speak with you any longer.

No, I’m being too harsh. I don’t really hate you if you’re a Wharton student.

No, no, on second thought–I take that back. I think I do.

2. Not that anyone cares, but I’ve decided to face that, barring the Second Coming of Christ (in the event of which I’ll be concerned with a few more things than studying abroad), Notre Dame will not be reopening its Jerusalem campus. I’m considering going to Athens. There are positives associated with this as well as negatives. Anyone intensely interested with my life should feel free to inquire further, whereupon I will provide exhaustive lists of both groupings and demand your opinion.

No, I didn’t think you’d be interested.

That is all.

Yeah, you cheated.

Yo, Brendan, send me a beef patty and I’ll send you a tripe taco from Washington Ave.

What movies did you get?

Cool post

Oh! But I already told you all that in person. Hey! I believe that’s ten comments! Or did I cheat?

As safe as it probably is here, even for a girl, I still get weird in a locked soft sleeper cabin with a random nasty Chinese man buying 2 beers to drink by himself on the train(and try to force on me) at 11 PM and asking me if I have free time as soon as I get back to Tonghua.

Dude, China or no China, you will not catch me sleeping in a total stranger’s house. You could wake up the next morning in some back-alley brothel or on some slave ship.

Hehe kinda reminds me of that time in Shanghai (it was Shanghai right?) when you went to buy DVDs from that shady guy on the bike…that just reeks of “tourist attack.”

I’m slow on the boat on this one, but I could so see myself at some random persons house in China. When you wrote that, it didn’t even *occur* to me that would be a bad idea, until I read someone elses comment about it. There would be no way in hell I would do that here in the States. Plus, like you said, a Chinese person would get hella messed up for fucking with a Foreign Friend.

Also, reading about Liu Shiyong’s place reminds me of Kiki’s (KIKI!!!) place in Hangzhou. When I stayed with her, my bed (and hers) was a wooden plank, with some blankets and a pillow. It was somehow…comfortable. I was suprised.

I’m really glad you had an awesome time travelling, makes me all full of regrets and whatnot. Oh, well, there’s always the future to go travelling by train, but, damn I can’t imagine a train being comfortable…

it never ceases to amaze me what difference it makes when language is not that big a barrier. the thing that’s always frustrated me when travelling (or even at home in hk) is meeting people who sound really interesting, if only i could understand half of what they were saying.

been to shenzhen countless times, but i think i’ve been in hk too long. i only go to buy dvds, which is quite sad.

i’m not surprised with brendan’s thoughts on the city. i think it’s one of the ugliest cities i’ve been in, and that’s from somebody who came from manila. the people though, are a different story.

ps: chicken feet can be good, once you get over it. it’s nothing compared to the other things they eat.
