Vacation

Apologies for the lack of updates. I have been in Asia (China, Korea, Japan) for past 3 weeks and it’s bit tough to update when you are traveling. Actually I took my laptop and was expecting to do some work but that didn’t quite work out. I figured Asia must be super well connected (internet) everywhere, right? Wrong. Internet was almost non-existent in China. Korea and Japan were better but my laptop didn’t have the right fonts installed for the latest strip so that didn’t quite work out. I guess it wasn’t meant to be. Anyways, here are random things I noticed.

• Beijing is more modern and cleaner than I thought.
• You can’t get that authentic Panda Express taste in China (and that’s a bad thing).
• China is not the most tourist friendly nation (bad customer service, no one speaks any english, etc).
• Japanese are really courteous.
• Japanese hotels are small but really well thought out.
• Japanese really really like to gift wrap everything into small tiny cute packages.
• Koreans move 20% faster than everyone else (everyone’s in a rush).
• Koreans really really I mean REALLY like Starcraft. 2 full time Starcraft tournament channels.
• Asian girls are hot (especially ones in Japan and Korea).

Oh, I did try Mochi in Japan and Korea and I must say they were most delicious. Soooo much better than ones in U.S.
