poc > Wok this way...

A street-corner, coal burning, blast wok, with an electric blower fan hooked up to another coal burning power plant that is cooking exactly nothing (and was entirely unattented).

Pfft. Global warming. Whatever...
poc > You know who, playing you know what, you know where.
poc > This is my good friend Xiu Cheung. See all the stuff in the background? That's a huge market full of many, many, brand-name knock-offs. 

He owns the place. Yep. He's the man. I met him drinking one night at a local karaoke bar and he agreed to show me around the place. Nice guy.
poc > Guess who playing guess what in the middle of guess where.
poc > Marvin and I atop the city wall in Xian, China. This is a huge wall. If memory serves, it's about 8 miles all the way around the thing. You can rent the bikes, and get this, you have to leave a deposit of $30 (about 30 times more than the bike is worth) *OR* your passport (worth about $5000 on the black market). Hmmmmm.... lemme think about that for a moment.
