Two things make this a keeper. The first thing is the Mao Harvest. We challenged our youth club to raise money for a good cause by collecting maos (Chinese equivalent of pennies), inspired by NYC’s Penny Harvest (hence the name). It was our first time doing this, but one thing that I have learned while [...]
It’s just one of those things that are indescribable. I can’t believe how loud and insane the whole city was in those few hours. If you can’t feel the concussions in your chest, you are not experiencing it enough. The highlight of the night was the now infamous, “white box”. Some good-willed strangers just came, [...]
I was so sad when I couldn’t catch their last tour in America, but to my surprise found out they were coming out to Chiners. Not only did I get my wish, but since the fan base is not so big here in China, we were able to get right up front. Even after, they [...]
In line with what Mike did before he left Chiners, I thought I would take some time to reminisce on my year here in this great country. I decided to stay away from any kind of list or ranking because that’s just stress and time that I don’t need. So, I will just randomly look [...]
Woah, this is so cool. All the scenes depicting the plane crash in LOST were edited together by pyram1dhead in the style of 24. It’s interesting to see it work, and got me excited for the last season. SPOILER warning for those that haven’t caught up on all the episodes. VIDEO

So my roommate, Jin, apparently does not like the last slice of bread. It’s not that he doesn’t like crust because the top crust slice was eaten. Just the last slice. I think it stems from an underlying issue of letting go. Time for an intervention.

“Come on Jin…”, “OH NOOOOO”, “Please, please…”, “Of course!”, “Fan-tas-tic”. These are just some of the many phrases that are associated with my man Jin. It’s been a good year, and having Jin around makes everyday a challenge. He’s taught me patience, self-control, how to love when you don’t want to, and he doesn’t even [...]
