Have fun in China, you miserable, unfortunate, wretched excuse for a grouch. Yeah, have fun being PAID, A LOT, to do a travel piece on one of the most fascinating places ever, getting to do what most of us can only dream of, for ELEVEN freaking days. That time I cheered you on when you were about to hie off a couple of weeks ago to Chicago for that interview about it? I was just FAKING it, if you must know—I was being eaten up by such jealousy you'd have been slimed with green goo if you had come within 10 feet of me. And when you aced it (as if there was any doubt) I put on my happy face and gritted my teeth and congratulated you. Me, a frustrated travel writer? Whatever made you think THAT??? But seriously—I'm really happy for you. Really. REALLY. It's just too bad your schedule's too hectic you won't be able to meet anyone from FF. And I doubt Glen the Guide will let you out of his sight. You take care, and tell us alllll about it when you get back. (Hint: Start blogging again, you cur!) I'm dyslexic. I scream Ho Dog instead of Oh God in the throes of passion. |

I wrote in tagalog again earlier that I have to delete my first comment. FF dont post my comment if written in Tagalog.*  And yes, he's going to China on the 20th. All expenses paid, criss-crossing various cities, and being paid a goodly amount on top of it. I'm not jealous, nooooo. I'm REALLY happy for him. And if he doesn't send me a fridge magnet I am gonna let him have it. *muttergrumbleunintelligiblecussing* I'm dyslexic. I scream Ho Dog instead of Oh God in the throes of passion.

I can only say it in Hokkien (Fujianese), not Mandarin, Sherry. We say "sun hong" to people about to travel within the Chinese community in Manila. And yes, he's going to China on the 20th. All expenses paid, criss-crossing various cities, and being paid a goodly amount on top of it. I'm not jealous, nooooo. I'm REALLY happy for him. And if he doesn't send me a fridge magnet I am gonna let him have it. *muttergrumbleunintelligiblecussing*  Kidding! We all know that you are indeed very happy for Bribook, so are his other friends here on FF I'm sure. Of course Im happy for him too( and envious! )

China is huge. i've been to some part of it. Determinedly, i’m hoping to visit Daphne no later than next spring but i'll try to see if I could be there sooner (before it gets very cold) but she doesn't know this yet!! lol   Has anyone advised Brian yet about the fecking toilet's horrors? we now have a portable toilet like training-pot using in managing with Thai’s traffic!! I plan to take it with me the next time I travel to China.. it would certainly make the trip goes much smoother and more pleasantly!

On his arrival, Brian bought about typhoon Linfa to Fujian province, as well as thunder storms to Shanghai. He has taken to eat "blood" together with Qingdao beer, has secret deals with smugglers in Nanjing Dong Lu yesterday, and is said to have "ransacked" many large department stores by now. Those are all what I saw on our news report on TV.
