goodbye qingdao!

happy 7am on a wednesday morning.

last night i had a traditional korean & japanese mixed dinner with out #1 supplier. he is korean so we had our translator (who is also his friend) there to speak for us.
he understood more english the more jimo he drank though! (is it wrong i thought he was kind of hot?)

*jimo: chinese potato grain alcohol. it comes a bottle about the size of a beer bottle and is about as strong as saki.

i had the most amazing food! pineapple chinks with korean bbq sauce wrapped in "bacon", pumpkin with cinnamon and honey, and the best part RIBS & FRENCH FRIES!
that shit was bad ass, andlong over due. I also got drunk on jimo and tsingdao beer - i think i had like 8 shots (if you spoke to me on AIM this am you can agree i was quite relentless!). it is an insult to the korean/chinese people to say no to any food/drink they offer; so i was just being polite!

so my camera died :( im so sad. i have rechargeable batteries, but it only takes a single lithium battery, hopefully since i am in the land of electronics; or should i say origin - i can find new ones! the #1 electronic supplier here is HAIER, fyi. it like owns china. there are sins everywhere for it.
today i go to out #1 supplier, then to a print factory - then onto guangdong. it is very remote there(and dirty i hear)so i am not sure if i will have a change to update until i get to shanghai - but then again i could be totally wrong and they may have high class heated toilet seats. i ordered room service and am super excited for my "belgium waffles with fresh fruit and maple falovred serup (<~hahahahaha!, yes "serup!"

i had jasmine tea this morning, it was "selected by the monarch butterfly" maybe thats why it was so good?
