I Enjoy Buying Things That I Don't Need

...and don't we all.

But if you want to see the types of things that I've been buying in Nanjing.  Check out this video:




And in addition to the myriad of legal products you can buy, I just noticed that the bootleg DVD industry is stepping their game up.  Like way up.  No more scrawled sharpie in a random jewel-case that used to house an AOL trial.  We're talking fancy.

Mmmhmmm...sweet symbolic syrup.  (Dexter loves alliteration...I'm not just being weird)

Also notice that this DVD set contains Seasons 1 - 4.  Unfortunately, I'm still fairly jaded about this type of stuff though.  I don't care how cheap it gets...the internet has it for free.  Although there is something to be said about not having to wait for stuff to download, not to mention supporting a local business.  (Although it's generally frowned upon to shop with no pants...and encouraged while downloading movies illegaly.)

There is no shortage of weird flavors to be had in China...and I plan on including pictures of weird grocery store products on a fairly regular basis, here is the first in a long series of weird food!

SEAWEED PRINGLES!!!!

Not quite Salt and Vinegar.  (Take note of the lurking Kathleen in the background)

In other exciting news, I start classes tomorrow!  I'll be teaching a class that involves reading over English newspaper/magazine articles.  Unfortunately, the only magazines that I have at my disposable are a copy of "Smithsonian" and two identical copies of "The Economist."  Actually...I think Dane has some copies of Marie Claire and The New Yorker.  So if they want to learn how to get great hair in under eight minutes -or- enjoy some gossamer-like humor...then they're in luck.

Yep...I've still been taking pictures.  So I'll have some cool stuff to show you in the near future.
