飲茶 Yam Cha

飲茶 Yam Cha, originally uploaded by LITMK.

Yesterday Tony, Jay, and I went to a vegetarian yamcha (dimsam) restaurant. I’ve been looking for a vegetarian yamcha joint since I became a vegetarian last year. Until now I’ve been going to the regular ones and only had a small selection. We were all very excited to find this . . . → Read More: 飲茶 Yam Cha

Drinking Tea

On Tuesday Tony and I went to the tea market in FongChun (芳村) to accomplish three things: drink really expensive tea for free, buy some really inexpensive tea, and do some filming for our blog at tea legends. And yes, in case you were wondering, we didn’t pay them to film there, so that was free . . . → Read More: Drinking Tea

It’s about time

SEIKO, originally uploaded by LITMK.

I finally moved to my own server! I said I’d do it here, but never got around to it until now. It’s about time!
I’ve also been experimenting with reverse lens macro. Basically you take the lens off your SLR and flip it around to get a makeshift macro lens. . . . → Read More: It’s about time

facebook Gone For Good

I deleted my facebook account on Sunday. It’s now Thursday, and the info and pictures won’t actually be deleted until next next Sunday. Yep, it takes two weeks for them to delete an account. I doubt all my info and pictures will be deleted permanently. There are probably backups hidden away somewhere in an underground facility . . . → Read More: facebook Gone For Good

Blind

When I go to Hong Kong to renew my visa I usually only bring one pair of contacts because it is only a day trip. This time, however, unbeknownst to my friend and I, was the Canton fair, so we couldn’t get a train back and had to spend the night. I thought I’d keep the . . . → Read More: Blind

Vicotry Drink

This is me having a victory drink after finally beating my landlady in the battle of the fridge! What is that you may ask?

My fridge broke down some time ago and the landlady had to pay for it to be fixed. That’s normal. The second time, however, she told me to handle it myself. My . . . → Read More: Vicotry Drink

The Guizhou Adventure Part 1

Trouble in The Rice Paddy

Back in August, 2009, Tom, a Chinese friend (who shall remain nameless) and I went to the beautiful province of Guizhou, China. Located to the north of Guangxi and to the west of Hunan, it’s a rugged and mountainous province and the home of almost 40 million people, including many minorities.

I’m back!

Yes, it’s true. I’m back in China, and I’m staying. I didn’t know this until a few days ago, however. I met with a past employer and just sort of agreed to work for him on the spot. The next day I was looking for apartments. I can’t believe it! I’m going to be living . . . → Read More: I’m back!

Leaving for Hong Kong

I edited the above picture using time I should have invested into packing for my trip to Hong Kong and China. I leave in less than 36 hours and I haven’t packed a single thing for my 7 week trip. I am unsure of what to pack. I’m going for 7 weeks, so I want to . . . → Read More: Leaving for Hong Kong

The 19th Annual Echoes of a Proud Nation Powwow

I went to the 19th Annual Echoes of a Proud Nation Powwow on Saturday. This was the first time I’ve been to it in years. I had my first Indian taco. It was delicious. The weather was horrible for taking pictures due to the light drizzle that was coming down all afternoon. That is until it . . . → Read More: The 19th Annual Echoes of a Proud Nation Powwow
