Comments on: All Moved In… http://www.ryan-mclaughlin.com/blog/farrago/all-moved-in/ I'm a dad, designer, China expat and blogger Tue, 31 Jan 2012 07:41:49 +0000 hourly 1 http://wordpress.org/?v=3.3.1 By: Ryan http://www.ryan-mclaughlin.com/blog/farrago/all-moved-in/#comment-7396 Ryan Sun, 11 Feb 2007 16:07:23 +0000 http://www.thehumanaught.com/blog/2007/02/05/all-moved-in/#comment-7396 @Stephanie: Cheers :-) It's a long way from being finished... but keeps falling down the list of "things to do". @Steven: Once in a while we get some random annoying chatter - but as you know, our old place was right by the road and right by steps leading from the road ... waking up to ayi's chatting about whoknowswhat is nothing new :-) @Jamieson: Just read your post... funny stuff... loved this bit: <blockquote>Man, it is so noisy in China. Walk down the street and get "Laowaied" to death. This means every pleb who's never seen a whitey in the flesh is likely to yell the word "Laowai" (foreigner), or "Hellooo", nudge his associate to have a gawk as well. Say, I don't recall ever saying "Asian" out loud in Australia whenever I saw an Asian person.......but then again, I don't have Tourette's Syndrome.</blockquote> @Stephanie: Cheers :-) It’s a long way from being finished… but keeps falling down the list of “things to do”.

Sucks about the puter...but at least you are up and running. Be thankful that your system is ok. Jen has given me so much spyware and viruses that I'm pretty sure everything I do is being monitored by teachers at "Hackers University" as an example of how to break into systems.

(Slouch hat deleted) Yuki (Chinese de-facto wife) has instructed me that we will move hut this weekend. Sh*t. That means we will order 20-40 boxes from the recyled box Ayi, re-tape them and put all our sh*t into them, re-tape, re-lable them, call up the 3 moving guys and their van and I pay a good 170 kuai for a 2 kilometre trip. Downstairs, upstairs. Lucky we're going back to the first floor - same zone, SIP. I hate moving. That's what - 8 times now in 4 years ? Jees - I deserve a snoopy sticker on my forehead for tolerating this BS. Jamieson (the site isn't working, again) Hey ! Oi ! Oi ! Be VERY careful with that computer ! DO NOT drop the satellite dish ! It might be deformed by an impact! Careful ! Careful ! Geek? Yuki's Company Geek. Been very useful and co-operative, prompt. Put most of the software into English. Good work, that man. Internet & phone re-connect should be fine. I pay. Again ! Empathy Mate. Vagrant 101. J. G’day Mate ! (Slouch hat deleted)

I just spent the last hour and a half learning all there is to know about red-ear sliders ... as I have inherited a pair of them.
