hello all. i hope you haven't forgotten about me. i'm pretty much the worst at updating this thing when i'm traveling and apparently as of this last trip, i can't even muster up the courtesy to give anyone the heads up that the blog will be down for the extent of the trip. if that's a problem for anyone, well, then, i hate you too.
was in china this time and didn't really take any pics throughout the trip so i haven't got much to share other than the above and below usual suspects of asian lost-in-translation hilarities and cross-cultural novelties. as for the above, i feel as tho it needs no explanation however captions included for the rest. party on!!

i took that pic because i saw one of the more epically named businesses i've seen in asia to date. it's kinda hard to make out (if you click the pic it'll get bigger and should be easier to see) but the store was called: wait for it...
"cell phone monopoly supermarket digital mall"
ALL in rainbow minnie mouse font. the combo of name and font is most definitely a giant middle finger to every business and related signage ever.

might as well just get all the engrish pics outta the way first. a big bag of gold coins to anyone who can actually decipher what they're trying to say in the english "translations" (and i use "translations" in the loosest form of the word possible). pic taken from the menu of a restaurant we were at.

stairwell from one of the factories we visited. my imagination had some fun with this one. at the very least, that thing is most DEFINITELY spiked with something.

speaking of spikes, here's an epic japanese hoodie in line at the airport.

me drunk and posing inside a lifesize tiger beer ad. all done without a talent scout no less.

this is one of my coworkers danny's pics. just an adi ad representing your average run-of-the-mill white western skateboarder...
***
also a danny pic. i think this was taken to make us feel better about the previous image...
