yup

i learned a valuable lesson today. when in china, don't try to fart. its not rude or anything but just very dangerous. I almost had an accident today just because i thought i had to fart. my stomach didn't hurt or anything, the hot snakes just tried to creep up on me. but i got them. a coke later, and i'm feeling fine.

there is a bit of a problem right now in china. 160,000 people are stuck at the trainstation here because of some snow. tomorrow, they are adding 600,000 more people on top of that. Good luck keeping that from becoming a riot. so watch the news the next few days, might see something cool, but i'll never hear about it here. Its kinda hard to pull the wool over your eyes if you don't have any eyes in the first place.

I found this real good lecture by Bill Gates that he gave at the World Economic Forum. Its amazing. If you have 36 minutes, watch it. It changed my opionion on capitalism and its ability to do greater good for more people than those who don't need more good.
here's the link.
