Thursday Thusly

From ikea weekend

Welcome to the Ikea nesting instinct. Don't mind the random Fight Club quote, but I can't help it every time I enter that big blue store. We wanted to get a few things to further domestic ourselves in our flat. "The Laowai are staying!". We examined the phenomena why it seems so familiar and comfortable to us shopping there, despite being there on a Saturday with the masses. It just feels like our turf and the locals are along for the ride as opposed to our day to day surreal adventures when the Kung Fu slippers are on the other foot. For example the random fans who want their photo taken with us. "Your picture with us gets our picture with you."

It's been a busy week even if I only worked 1.5 days of it and you wonder why we stay in China?

Gail, just nailed it at an English corner in Dali where they have no FT (foreign teacher) she says, "How could I do any wrong?" They loved her. Honestly 1.3 billion people here do.

Rockin' the Mozart via Neville Marriner- Dia Zauberflote (The Magic Flute). Makes for good blogging music.

Tomorrow heading into GZ (Guangzhou) to work out with my main man Brad at GETFITGZ and make sure we are ready for the Open Fitness event on Sunday Morning in Yuexiue Park. He was kind enough to post a new recipe. It's hard to believe how much weight I've lost. It's hard for me to tell, but the numbers, lose clothes, and other people don't lie.

I really want people to come and join me this summer to see China and workout. It will transform your life in way you only dreamed.

  1. Did you get to see people hanging out in Ikea? In shanghai during winter or hot summer, I see people actually napping in sofas and beds on the showroom floor. Some even had their PJs on. Rent free and loving the air-conditioned temperature.
