ramen, minus the microwave and the shame

just finished a great dinner with some of my group members and the two teachers from the trip. it's always awesome to hang out with professors outside of the classroom and get to know them like real human beings. we had a great meal (japanese chicken, teriyaki style, with a bowl of ramen. take the stuff you buy for 55 cents at kroger and multiply it by about 11,000 and thats what the ramen here is like). i found out that sam, one of my favorite professors i've had (who grew up around DC as well), saw black flag and 7 seconds at the old 930 Club in DC, back when it was in a superbly ghetto area. thats awesome. time for some relaxation, which probably means just reading a few pages and falling asleep. i know, i know. it's only 10pm (or 22 over here), but running around Hong Kong all day takes it out of you. i'm beat, see ya later
