CURRENT MISSION

To get lost where no man has gotten lost before

ABOUT ME

I love to eat. I believe there is no such thing as expensive great food; only expensive bad food. Bad food by definition is expensive, right? Who would want to eat it even for free?

I'm in Taiwan right now, taking courses here on the language and deepening my understanding of the Chinese culture. Translation: learning to read, write, and speak. I'm pretty good right now at faking it.

PHILOSOPHY

Life is short, so hurry up and move on!

Teach, Learn, Share

When ordering pudding milk tea in Taiwan, tell them you want "pu ding nai cha, ban tang qu bing" (pudding milk tea, half sugar with no ice) and, assuming the mix is made appropriately, you will have the most amazing pudding milk tea you've ever experienced in your life.

This is similar to ordering a cheesesteak in Philadelphia and saying "whiz, without" (cheese whiz, without oninion).

I am getting hungry typing this.
