Tidbits
Sleepover at Ikea - Maybe this is the only way to get to the $1 early enough…
A ramen bath - Japanese spa with special baths resembling instant noodles. I wanna play!
Old age homes for dogs - 1) Old dogs don’t like to be abandoned at strange places. 2) Playing with young puppies will probably cause the older dogs to die faster due to exhaustion.
A remote-controlled pigeon - Oh the poor thing…
An article on a brilliant method of teaching grade schoolers about bats and rabies. I smell a lawsuit.
Will trade beer for Crumpler bags. Tempted by the beanbag and messenger bags…

Goodbye Nanjing!
May 29, 2008, 3:37 pm
Can’t believe how fast four weeks’ gone by. We have our final exams tomorrow morning, and leaving for our 7 week tour of Xi’an and Beijing on Sunday. Then it’s back to Canada. Sigh, I don’t feel ready to go back to work yet. I think I actually miss being in school.
I’m really surprised at how little free time I have here. I spend so much time before we left preparing things to do when I’m free, such as setting up a virtual machine for work, getting the first three seasons of Battlestar Galactica… Turns out I barely have time to check work email. This week was especially bad. Faced with the realization that this is our last week in Nanjing, Mike set out on a giant shopping spree for Chinese arts and craft. So we’ve pretty much been out everyday from noon to 7.
I need to go study now, so here’s a summary of the trip so far (I’ll hash out details later):
- Three-day tour to Suzhou, Zhouzhuang and Shanghai, Chinese tours are still not my favourite
- Three-day tour to Huangshan (Yellow Mountain), can’t walk normally for a few days afterwards
- Saw the Olympic torch relay through Nanjing, since they pass right in front of our hotel
