local beijing restaurant gives me a new year's present
I went out to eat with my coworker last night and at the end of the meal we asked for a receipt. They weren't able to give us one (I never understood why) and the manager came over personally to apologize. As an apology gift, he gave me a giant calendar for the new year. It's pretty awesome. I think I acted a little too excited... like I'd won an award or something. It reads roughly, "year of the tiger brings fortune/prosperity." I hope this is a sign. I will definitely be asking for receipts at restaurants more often. The picture above is of me in my boss's awesome kitchen trying to figure out where the heck to hang it. I'm living in his apartment while he is in the States and I am looking for an apartment. Right now the calendar is just sitting on a chair. It will be the first decoration I hang when I move into my own place! So far though I've had little luck in finding a place. The last place I saw didn't have a refrigerator. Where will my calendar end up?

I really do appreciate your feedback. I'm still struggling with the technology but I wish everyone all luck with this competition. I've been pinned down with a sick grandchild and today a very sick daughter - both with gastric flu which afflicts us all at this time of year - so this is the first moment I've had to get to the computer yufmqj yufmqj - moncler down jackets.
