Tequila ain't my friend
Topic of the day: I have friends!
To all those who attended my little birthday pow-wow at the Handsome Cafe (and who's reading this blog right now), thank you!!! Hope everyone had a good time!
As my friend Jerry/Gerard/Witty/That-Irish-Guy said it: You didn't even need to hire Helen and I from Rent-A-Friend-Beijing! Ha! To be fair, I am very happy to know that I have more than 2 friends in Beijing! *grin!*
It's a shame though that I don't remember much after the tequila shot with Yenny... Damn, tequila isn't a friend of mind! Nor is Russian vodka, as learned from Harbin...
And while we're on the topic, please don't think I'm an alcoholic. But I figured (and Freda concurs) that reading about my social life is much more interesting than reading about my work life. Though coincidentally enough, I do have a funny story now that is kind of work related:
Our office was just remodeled and the entrance, as well as the 3 elevator doors, now bare our company colors: gold and maroon. While waiting for the elevator, a Chinese colleague of mine asked another Chinese colleague: "I don't understand why the doors aren't still gold and maroon by the time we get downstairs."
The response from my colleague: "Ugh - there's 2 doors..."
On the same elevator ride, the same colleague said that until very recently, she thought that milk cows only come in female cows...and that in the world, no male milk cows existed.
I wonder how it had not hit her that milk cows can reproduce if there are only female milk cows in the world...Hmmmm...
