That’s June 20089
Here’s my magazine article for this month. The magazine’s website, by the way, is here [That's Shanghai], although if you manage to find my bit anywhere on that, you’re better at this stuff than me.
I had an interesting experience in a Mexican restaurant this month when a guy at the next table was flicking through the magazine whilst waiting for his food. He was getting closer and closer to my page, and I was getting more and more anxious.
Just before he was about to turn onto my bit so I could see his reaction, the food turned up and he put the magazine down. It was easily the most frustrating experience of my life so far.
hahahahha funny
Why are you writing in the past? Or did I travel to the future?
The past? I’ve actually just sent off my stuff for the July issue, but this is the one that’s on news-stands / the floors of various bars right now.
oh wait. I see what happened
We’re still waiting for that special issue with a DVD of ukulele exploits.
Yeeks I didn’t need to see your hairy navel before dinner. No appetite for that cauli hotpot now (that’s right – tired of waiting for your phone calls)
Colin, are you in Germany?
The column’s definitely getting better swiss, I read almost all of it this time!
Re: the hairy navel – I thought that China had laws against indecent exposure of that sort.
David- they do, and I flaunt them
Colin- this is a gross misrepresentation of what happened!
Dingle- I appreciate that, cos I know you’re not much of a reader.
The food must have been good. I wish we had some decent Mexican eats here in QD. So how did you really get banned from bus lines 1, 5, and 9?
Wait, I didn’t have any Mexican food this week.
You mean you actually go to restaurants when I’m not around?
Sacre bleu!
I thought you were following me ;)
China the only country where people can say – You’re not paranoid – everyone *is* staring at you.
Why are we all talking about Mexican food all of a sudden? Confused!
Anyway- 小杜, I was actually in Sichuan Citizen last night and you weren’t there. Are you ill or something?
SJ – Did or did you not write the following:
“I had an interesting experience in a Mexican restaurant this month when a guy at the next table was flicking through the magazine whilst waiting for his food. He was getting closer and closer to my page, and I was getting more and more anxious.”
Note the words “MEXICAN RESTAURANT”
Thats what happens when you eat Sichuan food.
Last night was at the underrated Vietnamese place at the Equatorial. I kept looking over my shoulder to see what table you were at, but you didn’t show.
We *almost* went to Sichuan Citizen though, so I think your spies didn’t update you in time.
小杜
Oh right- Mexican restaurant I understand now. I was trying to look at where I’d mentioned it in the article. Ooops.
Lawrence- I will tell my people to redouble their efforts.
Nice magazine And Keep it up guys And i will Surely read it
