Ah, ok. That makes a lot of sense.

What's going on with her face in this picture?

For people saying the Life in Aggro strip is racist, check out the foreword Fei wrote on their website about it. Whether or not you agree with her sentiment, it should at least make you understand a little better where she's coming from.

This is fascinating stuff, thanks for posting. This is the kind of meticulous stuff that I'd love to do. Maybe when I'm finished being a lawyer, I can get into something like this.

When I lived in Beijing, I couldn't stand the taste of the water right out of the boiler, so I developed a really weird taste for hot tang. I never had tang before in my life, nor have I had it since, but it was damn delicious.

Ah, yes. Your idea of fun is my idea of hell. I haven't spent too much time in Shanghai, but I used to live in Taipei. Does Shanghai also have REALLY slippery road markings that make it nearly impossible to stop during the rain? It's terrifying, man.

Maybe a combination? Hard to say. It just irks me, and I honestly don't understand when people put TVs in their bedrooms.

Cool, thanks for the input. I had no idea the IP was going up for auction next month. That will be really interesting.

It really does suck that the company went under, eh? That would be great if a really capable company bought the IP and started making great games with it.

Good luck with that! I feel your pain. Despite being licensed to practice law in two jurisdictions, I moved to a new state for a job (I practice immigration law, which is federal, so you can practice it in any state regardless of where you are licensed). My firm wants me to become licensed in this state, so I now have…

Awesome to hear! I just moved to a new city, so waiting for delivery of my PS3. Probably won't really get to play it for a few weeks, if not months. But this is great news. :)

Oh, I'm sure it is. It's just with my backlog of games so full, I wasn't so blown away with the gameplay in the demo that I could really justify even $20 on a game I might not play.

Plus FREE Kingdoms of Amalur

It was slightly more spacious (more of a small studio than big closet) and had a teeeeeeeny tiny kitchenette. Of course, living in Hong Kong, I just ate out most nights.

Wet bathrooms, as they're called, pop up all over Asia. A bunch of my friends in Taiwan had them, usually in smaller apartments. Unless you're a slob, they tend to stay really clean, but sometimes it's annoying having a wet bathroom floor, especially if you forget and walk in there with socks on.

I spent a summer in Hong Kong in a similarly sized space. So long as everything is clean and the bathroom doesn't leak out into the main living space, it's not terrible. Of course, I couldn't imagine spending more than a few months in one of these places, but I'm also the kind of person who hates watching TV in bed.

I spent the past month living with two very good friends of mine. They have a 3-year-old and an 18-month-old. Whenever the 3-year-old would whine about something, they had a stock reply, which I'm sure people like Tami Roman would use: "You get what you get, and you don't get upset."

EMBRACE IT. YOU WILL ONLY GROW STRONGER.

I was gonna ask about the typical student here. I've only visited Thailand, but something like this seems to me like it's suited towards the wealthy. I like a lot of modern architecture, but when it comes to school, I prefer something a little more.... subdued. All that color probably distracts quite a bit.

I have never seen this before, so I thought I should take the time to express my sincerest and deepest gratitude.
