Yeah, China was pretty fun. Definitely not the human-rights abusing pit of despair you hear about in the news (although the internet censorship is annoying but trivially easy to subvert). I even heard PBR referred to as “The People’s Beer,” which is just skull-fuckingly brilliant. Also, if you are ever rolling around Hong Kong, there is a delicious vegan dim sum place on Electric rd @ Lau Sin. The sesame fried dumplings are off the hook.
And check out a solid HK-based street art group/the best cool-kid culture blog imaginable, Start From Zero. They even host a yearly ping-pong tournament, which should give this blog some inspiration.
