Mao, Phil, and Nathan

That Mao always comes off looking so cool and confident.

This is at a Thai restaurant on Shamian Island. I ate at the same place with my family when they visited. It's gooood.

Nathan and I were hangin with some friends in Guangzhou during our May vacation, which is one of three or four sizable breaks we have.

Chinese vacations are really strange. They'll give you the week of, say, May 2 through 6 off. But then you have to make up two of those days on the Saturday preceding the break and the Sunday following. Uh...huh?
