aloha!

Well, I made it to Hawaii! I’m actually waiting on my flight to Maui right now, but it is sooo nice to be back in Hawaii…I love this place! Hong Kong was great but I didn’t have enough time, of course. I was also delayed five hours heading back to Beijing due to terrible lightning...

sticky in hong kong

I didn’t know it was going to be so humid in Hong Kong! I’m sitting in a cafe at the top of Victoria’s Peak, right next to a lifesize wax figure of Charlie Chaplin (the cafe is right outside the entrance to Madame Tussaud’s Hong Kong), and we’re getting ready to go shopping at Stanley...

So I’ve made it to Portland. I had an exit row seat on the flight here, which was nice, but I had an aisle seat which is not that great for sleeping as much as I needed to. I asked the guy who had the window if he wanted to trade, and he said yes,...

sunday evening

So it’s been a decent weekend. Last night Guy and I went to see my friend Ann in Noises Off, a play about actors putting on a play. It was really entertaining and Ann was, as usual, fantastic and beautiful. We hung out afterwards, snagging our free Wendy’s Frostys (that junior Frosty cup is the...

So I was just looking at a fairly recent picture and laughing at me and my girlfriends. In the photo below, you’ll see four of us (we missed Jennifer!) striking the red carpet pose: one leg in front of the other, body angled slightly away from the camera. I even threw in a cute head...
