so, i had to go to an internet cafe for work….

so the guy to my right is smoking up a storm, and singing into the mikeĀ for his “girlfriend”. it is a one way video conference, she sees him but he does not see her!

going on here, this place is insane. I am supposed to go drinking with these girls ( they have never seen a white guy drink before, this is what i am told). all you have to do is say shea shea (thank you) and they flock to you. (btw, they like big eyes)

back to about work, i met with a few VC firms (venture captial) they all want to know why dont we write our software here, and i keep saying the technical expertese here are not that good. they say but it is so cheap. anyway i went to get a friday morning (a common computer book [java class libs]) well to make a long story short tonight i found 2/3 volumes. now these vc firms want us to write our stuff here where they don’t even have reference books?

now that the email i sent out to a few days ago:

]how chan ching chaw
]ra cha ba yah no kee
]
]and i said to the taxi driver please take me here ( i pointed to an
]address in chineese)
]
]he said again :
]how chan ching chaw
]ra cha ba yah no kee

I repeat this 3 or 4 times daily, but now it has gotten worse! i started to travel farther, i now point out step by step directions

i say left now, right now, go go go, and stop.

]one more thinng, there are these trucks that go around and say with a
]loud speaker “ba yaw, ba yaw bla bla bla bla” I cant figure out if they
]are selling ice cream or politics?

well my files are done downloading so it is back to the office.

one other thing square towles are toilet paper, and the weather is great if you like beach weather 24/7.

cheers
