I haven't even been gone a week, and the questions are starting to pour in! Well, OK, these are all from the same person, but it gives me something to write about. Here we go:
Have you settled in yet?
Mostly. Today I managed to stock the kitchen (pots, pans, dishes, small appliances), so I can actually start cooking for myself. I've been unpacked since the second day, and have found places for most of my stuff. Still working on where to stash the gym clothes.
What's the weirdest thing you've eaten so far?
Sorry to disappoint you, but I haven't tried to find anything too weird yet. I had sushi for lunch today, and I ordered some dumplings yesterday without knowing exactly what was in them, but they turned out to be egg & chive, so I don't think it counts. However, there was a weird jar of liquid-with-large-things-in-it for drinking (well, there was a tap on the jug, so I assume it was for drinking) at the dumpling place, and I thought, "I'm not drinking that until I know what it is." I narrowed it down to either large roots (alternative medicine, perhaps?) or various sea creatures (hmmm). Either way, it seemed a little sketchy. Next time I'll try to remember to take a picture.
Have you learned any swear words yet?
No, but I'll be in Hong Kong in 3 weeks, so the chances are good. Sorry, bad joke. Seriously, yes, I have started classes, and no, swear words are not on the curriculum. At least not yet. And as far as I know, I haven't done anything to make anyone swear in my direction, so I haven't picked any up on the street.
Go on, keep 'em coming!

Huh?No, I haven't seen the movie, and yes, I chose the name anyway. I'm told an Asian woman with green eyes is a plot point. Archives
