where am I?

Internet is down again. Third world living has it's drawbacks

things she learned

I taught a young woman named Yan back in 2000 in Xiaolan. We've had sporadic contact sense, and bonded over the last month or two. She went with me on a trip to Hainan, which was a blast. She brought an electronic dictionary that translated at times for us, and the following is a partial list of things she translated:
thong
hirsute
drunkard
buffoon
aggravation
motion sickness
manic
knave
albino
thug
discord
nonsense
declasse
pointless
pennywise, pound foolish
nerd
butler
dysentry
blind
sea sick
bald
unappealing

Sums up travelling with me pretty well
