First， i‘d like to touch upon the subject of massages again。 Today， we went to get our feet massaged again xD
but this time。。。 it was a guy who did mine ：（

One thing about different genders doing the massage is that the girls use MORE force and the guys use LESS force。
The only thing that comes to mind when i think about this is that the girls know they’re underpowered compared to the guys so they give it 110%。 Vice versa， the guys know they have power and then output 80%
It‘s kind of a odd thing to think about but think about it for awhile。 It makes sense to me because i’m sure as peanut butter jelly time that the cute asian girl who did my foot yesterday （lol she did my foot） used so much force that i was in pain for the rest of the night。
Maybe girls are more tolerant to pain because they give birth to babies。
Either way， that girl was cute， but she used a lot of force xD

No， i’m not going to talk about the guy。 TOO BAD。

Next thing is the massive family gathering that has taken fourth today。 Tommorow， due to popular mainland china tradition， it‘s time to dig my grandpa up from his resting place on a mountain and transfer him to a permanent place in another mountain！ ：o
So tonight， ALL of my 823056320685320650163 million family members gathered in their house， which 2 of my aunts and 1 uncle still live at， to have dinner and whatnot。 The sheer amount of numbers is already too overwhelming for me。 Imagine fitting about 30 people in a single living room。 Imagine the atmosphere， the conversations， the FOOD and *cough* ALCOHOL！ ：D

The last time （which i don‘t remember） this probably happened was when i last visit when i was like 5 or something and i have a little memory of that。 This will be in my mind forever！ It’s the first time that my developed brain processed all of this traditional things。
I took an AAS220 class this fall semester which deals about China and its culture。 When i came over here to China， it‘s like taking the course all over again but in a few days。 Everything that we talk about in class， they do on a daily basis。 Chinese tea making， chinese music， FOOD， theatre， and much much more。 If i were to take the final again WITHOUT taking the class， i would probably get an A+。 First hand experience totally pwnz0rz secondary info anytime。 I’m sure most of you learned about first and secondary info already。 If you haven’t go back to middle school and relearn it and then come read my blog in a few years， because you‘re probably not in the right place LOL。

Back onto subject， it’s nothing like i‘ve ever seen。 I don’t understand a lot of them because quite a few of them are from vietnam and then some of them speak a different variation of Cantonese， which is almost the same but with local dialects mixed in。

If you like big groups， it‘s like a celebration and a party everyday。 Looks fun。

Well， back to more alcohol！ my uncles were feeding me non-stop alcohol before。。。 good thing i had practice XD！！！
*insert chinese accent hereafter*
“your cup is empty？ HEY！ pour BRIAN（in replacement of my chinese name） some more beer！”

i was like WOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOT··

From a probably about to roll around crazy desk of，

HakoneDayDreamer， china = lots of people = lots of relatives = a lot of food = a lot of alcohol！
