Youth Club Easter Party

In Day-To-Day on 28 April 2009 with

Yea I know, Easter was so long ago. We threw our youth club an Easter party with colored eggs, an egg hunt, Easter cupcakes, the whole shebang! Oh, and plastic eggs filled with candy are > colored hard-boiled eggs in both making and receiving. Dang those colored eggs. This was HILARIOUS. We were playing Pictionary, [...]

Loooong overdue update. Hopefully I’ll have the motivation to crank out all of them. I have so many, that I’m even combining this one, hence the title. Recently, a friend and I checked out the “tea street” here. Once we arrived (after we got ripped off by the rickshaw), it really was a tea street; [...]

A while ago, kalleanka71 on Youtube re-edited the opening sequence of the TV show Dallas with scenes from Star Wars. It was good, but recently they did the opening of MacGyver with Star Wars and it’s brilliant. I love it so much. I’ll post them all up. Star Wars/MacGyver Star Wars/Dallas Star Wars/Airwolf

China’s art scene is gaining world acclaim. Just recently, there was an exhibit in D.C. that showcased artwork, just from China. Nearby where I live, there’s a place called 798 art district. It is an abandoned munitions factory that is now converted into multiple art galleries. With Beijing’s mundane skyline, sterile environment, and “cut-out” temples, [...]

The only Burger King in Beijing is at the airport. One of our friends had to go pick someone up at the airport, so that only meant one thing…WHOPPER PARTY!! Fries, however, were provided by McDonald’s, which is abundant here. Fun!

I think the first time I actually got freaked out by a robot was when I saw a video of the “mule”, which is a robot that helps transport supplies. If you haven’t seen it, watch below. What scares me is when they kick it and it regains it’s balance… VIDEO Well, I just saw [...]
