Sometimes one just wants to blog about something that's not on the schedule

Which would be my foray in the alleys (or hutong) of Beijing in pursuit of WiFi.

My classmate demanded that we go to McDonald's (sigh) so I picked something that would make me feel better about eating American food in China. :( (I was going to go on a no-American-food streak for a month...) Wasabi sauce for my nuggets!! It was pretty good. (They also had Thai spice, Italian marinara, and Chinese sesame sauce)



Oh, I got a haircut in the name of good journalism yesterday... will blog about that later. Here it is wet. Looks about the same as always, eh? It feels awesome and I look properly Asian hotness.
