it's an interesting turn of tables, being the fob. i've been here so many times, yet every time i come i have to relearn the rules: never take a step backward, don't smile at strangers if you happen to make eye contact, don't trust anyone not to push/mop up/spit on you. it's terribly difficult to manuver, and it's generally impossible to walk in a straight line unless you've worked up some agression.
my chinese is so rusty. my accent is fine, but it takes some time to regain that fluidity after having not used chinese in so long.
i tried to get a job today (wish me luck, friends). i have an interview on monday with a woman named cherry (like the fruit). i called her and we set up an appointment for 2:15pm at a starbucks. "okay, i'll see you there," she said. "um, don't you need to know my name?" "just text it to me. bye." i mean, why would i even think to bother with minute details like that? (goodness, that woman must not be particularly interested in my qualifications either).
