Out And About ...

Well, I was out and about yesterday. I spent the morning using Audacity to edit the sound track from the CD for my Chinese language book from the school. Some brain surgen decided that it would be a bright idea to put the whole 35 minutes of exercises as a single track on the CD, so you can't go and work on a specific exercise, you have to go through the whole track to find the exercise you are looking for, then write down the time index (so you can get back there).
Audacity is kind of cool. I've never done sound editing before, so I don't know how it compares with other programs, but I liked it.
In the afternoon I studied, and in the evening I met some people from the school.
I snacked on some mystery meat on a stick that I bought off a stand on the side of the road. Wow, that was good stuff. It was spiced up really nicely. We went to a bar for a couple hours, then to a Thai restaurant called the Purple Haze for dinner. Yes, I'm in China eating Thai. People who have been here for a few months refuse to eat any more Chinese food. They are sick of it. I'm not sick of it yet, but I've been here less than two weeks, so who knows.
The Thai food was good, nice and spicy. Naturally I woke up at 4:30am with stomach pains. I expected it.

Wait did you say you went to a bar? Wow, most unusual. Did you have a DRINK or a pop? Just curious.
Commies drink too, you know.
