Chewin in the Chung

Cynthia comes back from Vietnam/Cambodia tomorrow. Only 24 more hours to make the house smell like NOBODY AT ALL has smoked inside for the last two weeks. If I don't blog anything for a while after tomorrow, that will mean I have failed at this task, and my wife has broken all of my fingers.

Overheard in bar: "Islam is the new Communism."
Not really true, but still a catchy phrase.

Taichung is getting a Tesco. I've never been in a Tesco, though I understand it to be some kind of ultra-supermarket. I'll see if they have a decent selection of cheese and salami, and report accordingly. Maybe some more soups would be good too. And beef jerky. Never can find good beef jerky around here. The store is supposed to be on Qing Hai Rd.
