Goodbye

Geoff left early yesterday morning. I went with him to the airport at 5am and made it back in time for a half day of work. We were trying to figure out all the things we have done together in the year he was here, especially including the 8 months we were roommates.

Some of the more memorable events were...

-Sunday afternoon McDonald's and Zhongguancun Electronics window shopping.

-Being four feet apart from each other in the room and sharing links and talking via Instant Message

-Late night hard-core biblical doctrine discussions over beer and mutton sticks at our favorite muslim restaurant. ("First Thess-a-frigg-alonians says this....")

-Q. How many Calvinists does it take to change a light bulb? A. None. If it's supposed to give light, it will.

-Prank calling North Korea....Yes, we actually did that. It was awesome.

-Prank calling the owner of timecube.org and convincing him we would pay him 30 million dollars for his "research." (Disclaimer: going to that site may cause your head to explode)

-Going to Harbin...more specifically the train ride to Harbin. Who knew that sleeping pills, beer and a flashcube on a camera don't mix?

-Looking at the pictures Geoff took on the ride to Harbin.

-Breaking into Geoffrey's room and moving the furniture around, then waiting up all night for him to get back and find out.

-Speaking "Swedish" at the Silk Market to the vendors.

-Q. How do you starve a Calvinist? A. Give him 3 cakes and tell him he can only have one, but he has to choose which one.

-Countless visits to Lush and Pyro.

-Bike rides through Beijing rush hour.

-"Dude, are you in the bathroom again?" Yeah. "Do you have your laptop in there with you?" Yeah..so?

-I don't care....about Libya.
