Well, surgery done, soreness gone. Still have to rest in bed, so Ive just been playing PS3 and wrapping things up before I head back to Asia.
Heres a pretty cool article on Qingdao.
Qingdao won China’s most livable city in 2009 and 2011. Here’s why…

I had a weird dream that I opened up an MMA gym in OC with Big Foot Silva and we were recruiting all the old pride guys, brazilians and finish fighters/strikers and basically everyone that’s not a point wrestler, in an attempt to start a new organization with pride rules. lol. me, bigfoot and a table of old school brazilian coaches were negotiating how we could possibly open the organization and have a roster with all the guys from the same gym fight each other. It was an actual dilemma, and turning political. ahhahahaha :serious dream: and then I woke up. lol. RANDOM.

Yea that’s right. Anyways Im back in Qingdao. You know what’s funny about China? Everyone complains while they’re here (me included) but once they leave they miss this place so much, and eventually end up returning. The charm, friendliness, freedom/lawlessness, special treatment being a foreigner and cheapness (that’ll make you cry) will have you miss the place so much. Out of all my friends I think I was the only one that didn’t complain about returning home, but that was because I’m from one of the best and warmest cities in the world, and id been away for 2 years – I was basking in my vacation. China will be my home for a couple more years, it leaves an everlasting impression on you. I recommend everyone visit before they die.
Can Air China get anymore stereotypical?

In case you’re wondering I’ve been in the U.S for the past 2 months. I am on my way back to Qingdao. Missed my damn flight in SF, spent a night there,now I’m in Korea headed back. You know whats funny? They always seat me in the first row next to the exit so I dont have to walk (thats what we will call it) to the back and be near the restroom. Thing is, during an emergency my slow ass is first to exit since im responsible for opening the hatch. I figure about 50 people will perish from my down time haha
my ride is here. talk to yall later.
