Some people have asked me to give my location in a form that, say, a geography nut can use to get a ridiculously accurate picture of where I am. So for anyone who has Google Earth, or an equivalently cool program, my coordinates are:
31 degrees, 11' 63.23" North
121 degrees, 25' 35.96" East

Putting the Google Earth hand at that location will be putting the hand on the roof of my and my roomates' penthouse. Please don't click on your mouse when you do this, the Power Of The Internet might cave it in.

Today, my Chinese class came up with my Chinese name: Fa le kuo. Sure, it's pretty much phonetic, but the meanings are what's funny.
Fa = "make a fortune overnight" (this word is the reason why the number 8 is considered lucky in Chinese because the word for Eight - Ba - sounds like Fa)
le = filler word, doesn't mean much I think
kuo = mouth

So, my name means "Make a fortune overnight with your mouth". My Chinese teacher laughed for 5 minutes after we came up with that. :-) I guess it means I'm good at talking. Anybody who happens to be thinking of a different way I could make money with my mouth needs to get their mind out of the gutter. I'm a respectable, upstanding citizen. :-)
