Pittsburghing

My journey to Pittsburgh was long and trying. At times I thought I would never make it. But finally, after 35+ hours, 5 planes, 6 airports, and 2 bus rides, I made it to Pittsburgh. Having either been bumped from oversold flights, or having them delayed for hours (sitting in an airplane on the tarmac with no air conditioning or leg room is no fun), I was happy to have made it in time for most of the shenanigans.

Suffering the effects of jet lag. I fell asleep without the pillow and blanket in the middle of a wild party.

Tickets are purchased, but bags are not packed.  So much to do before I fly back to the states on Thursday.

I can promise countless slide shows and stories - get excited!

Selamat Datang!

Greetings from Malaysia! Sunday night I bid my HK life adieu and set off for new, uncharted destinations. While this is all very exciting and undoubtedly will lead to many new, interesting blog posts, I am still in mourning for my HK. Why wouldn't I miss a place that was the setting for so many fabulous parties and friends? Speaking of fabulous, here are some photos from my Cantofabulous going-away party.
Prep in the Kitchen. We grossly overestimated how much food we would need. Fortunately, it was just as good the next day. And the day after that.

Just us girls being girls.

Karissa getting her Asian flirting on. I walked back from the restroom at one point and Karissa and Laura were both on a platform dancing with 4 Chinese men. Awesome.

A man trying to get me drunk. Apparently the next time I am in Shanghai, I must call him.
