Park in Hangzhou

I think Hangzhou is one of the most beautiful cities in the world. It has a suburban area, a downtown city area, and the whole city is just so green everywhere. They have so many amazing parks, and I visited one on Friday that seemed like I was in a Chinese Alice in Wonderland world lol. I had a meeting here with Tedelon and an Australian brand that owns about 200 retail stores. I wish I brought...

I went to the movies for the first time this year last night. I wanted to watch Fast and Furious 5 but the others wanted to watch Kung Fu Panda 2, so we just went with that one.The movie was actually entertaining, I don’t like cartoons but it was pretty funny and the 3D was cool too I guess. I heard Fast and Furious 5 was really good, and decided I’d just watch it next time, kinda...

Want it. Must get it. Will have it.

was interesting lol. The friends I threw the club party with and I went over to the owners house to collect our pay for that night. He just passed his driving test in China so he was all excited and started popping all these champagne bottles and wine and everything. So we’re all drinking, chilling, and then he says he has to go pick up his friend from the airport. A bunch of other people...

I ate a fruit I’ve never heard of before called Loquat or in Chinese “Pi Pa”. It has a soft orange inside and the core of the fruit has these 2 huge brown seeds. It was really good, I couldn’t figure out the taste in the beginning really but it was kind of sweet with a little bit of sour at the end. It’s always cool tasting something you’ve never had before,...

Anonymous asked: given all the things to eat in china, how do you keep from gaining massive amounts of weight? you seem like a busy person so i'm curious to see how you would fit in time to work out or even where you would go to get your exercise fix in.

I see a lot of jawnz I want to cop. I then check how much it is and then just decide I’m just going to get it produced on my own instead for 1/1000th of the listed price.

omgadamho asked: Come back to New York

I went to a small part of Wenzhou called Rui An. I’ve heard about Wenzhou before, and how rich the city was. They call people from Wenzhou the “Jewish people of China” because they know how to make money and retain their wealth over time. When China first opened up, many people from this city were amongst the first Chinese people to move outside China to other parts of the world...

zoris asked: I haven't brought my laptop home all week, but had been planning to bring it home for the weekend. My boss gave me heaps of work to do over the weekend so there's no way I'm going to be able to go out tonight, so I went and got a bottle of reasonable wine in prep for TK's blog time (which I had been well looking forward to as I haven't been able to check it all week).

gaws asked: That counting from 1-10 on one hand thing, it must look like people are throwing up gang signs when they're counting.

I'm picturing this and its really making me laugh.

gaws asked: Lemme have sample jawn.

I threw my first party at a club with 5 of my friends the other night and it was really crazy! Good money, easy work, but definitely not something I would do for a living. Might do it again for some side-cash though, everyone had a really great time and already started asking when the next one was. Good learning experience as well, picked up on a few things, met some good people too. An American...

I met someone from Turkmenistan today. I asked him...
