I love Hangzhou! I haven't been there in 11 years, but it was such a nice break from life in Beijing.

She was the BEST. Such a badass.

Exactly. Plus, we don't know anything about the friendship between these three. It could very well be that they do this kind of stuff to one another a lot. In any event, they all seemed like good friends and Michael seemed to handle it well. Or at least better than a lot of the people commenting :)

You got it! It's actually tons of fun coming up with new phrases.

Ha. Fair enough. A "business meeting" is a nice way of saying "bowel movement". Not sure if it's country-wide or just friend-specific, but it's great. You can have a meeting of just the board of directors, or ALL the shareholders, etc.

True. Crows are incredibly intelligent. Like terrifyingly so. Anecdotally, I remember a story about my grandmother who had a pet crow when she was a kid. It would follow her to and from school each day.

That happened to me at school a few times, in the "forgotten bathrooms" that were really good for having a nice business meeting. Since not too many people knew of the bathrooms, if you took too long (as may happen when one is playing video games on one's phone), the lights would turn off, and since it was an old…

What is this witchery!?

I feel like you're way more aware of the different things going on in this game than I was. I just blindly played it, enjoying it for being so pretty. :)

Ha. Well, you just wait and see, and then report back. ;)

As, yes. I still had to google since I guess I was out of the loop for what nicknames the bosses all used.

Hmm. That was VERY vague. So vague, in fact, that I don't think I know which boss it is.

Watching Arya's development throughout the books has been so fantastic. Such a slow build up from the obvious tomboy to the person she's become. I think she's been the only character in the entire series whose chapters I haven't found the least bit boring. I really cannot wait for the next few books to see where she…

It's so remarkable that the original version of the war bonds poster is only two or so pictures down.

If possible, I would like to plead temporary insanity on account of lack of sleep and no coffee.

Why would you assume he's going to jail?

I just never understood why people say "try and".

"some casual" Ha! That was entirely too funny.
