Proof of God’s Existence

Update: By Popular Demand, the local number for the Pizza Hut on Taipa Island (Macau SAR China) is 853-2884-3133

You know you have those times in your life when your walk of faith faulters – then something miraculous happens that strengthens your resolve. I have just had such a momentous experience.

Tired of eating rice and noodles, ox tail and being tricked yesterday into eating chicken feet here in China – I have decided it’s time to make a stand.

To my great exhuberent joy I have discovered a Pizza Hut around the corner that delivers to my apartment here in China. Proof positive that heavenly hosts are looking out for me…

And yes, it tastes pretty close to pizza back home. Just have to make sure you order the tomato sauce base instead of the Thousand Island dressing base. (Gross, but true…)

Bar Girls Ten Commandments

Here’s the top ten commandments for Asian bargirls. I remember those “juice girls” outside the US military bases in South Korea – same rules apply. If you’re a single guy visiting any major city in Asia – you WILL run into them. So read this and keep your guard up. It seems funny now, but tell me how funny it is after you’ve been through it a couple times (ask anyone stationed in South Korea, if they’ll admit it). Want to get the real scoop? Go to Google and type “bargirl” – there’s all the info you need. Don’t be a stupid farang, get informed.

My Apartment in Macau

Friends back home were asking what my living conditions are like in China so here are pictures of my apartment on the island of Taipa in Macau, China (SAR). These are pictures of the place before I moved in.

This is the view from my living room windows. Just over the river there you can see mainland China.

Taipa is the island next to Macau. My island of Taipa has a large expat community (lots of Westerners) so it’s very comfortable and not much of a culture shock. I have two large grocery stores within a 30 second walk and plenty of great restaurants – Italian, Mexican, Portuguese, Thai, American, Indian, Chinese and French.

How to Eat with Chopsticks

How do you eat with chopsticks? I’ve been shown so many times and I just don’t get it. I’m tired of Chinese people laughing at me and bringing out the silverware.

The guy in this picture is making fun of my chopstick skills. He’s a chopstick pro. But he’s a drummer; he’s used to holding sticks.

I bought 10 pairs of chopstix today. I’m ready for action. Please help me…
