Apartment 1
This is in semi-downtown Xiamen, about 10 minutes from the train station. It was already furnished, including some strange stuffed animals and pictures on the walls. The dog looks like ET up close, but has so far provided me no alien technology or powers. There is still time. I Cooked Some Tofu Today

mrobertsonApril 30th 2007 I have many mosquito bites, and just got another. I will probably get malaria soon.
I have little to say, as it took me hours to upload all those pictures on this scanty internet connection. The enthusiasm from the beginning has long since waned.
A few days ago, I saw two blood-covered men on the street, standing near large pools of blood and a big bloody knife. Either a pig started running away as they were slaughtering it, or there was some kerfuffle.
Yesterday two taxi drivers engaged in fisticuffs in the middle of the street.
It is getting very hot here, and humid, but not terribly so.
I went bowling. It was 10-pin. It was bowling.
I ate some very delicious, fresh seafood. Clams in oyster sauce, octopus with peppers, and some small crayfish-like thing, that was difficult to eat, but tasted very good.
I think that is enough for now. I will watch Doctor Who and get to sleep. He is tangling with the Daleks again. It is not a surprising turn of events.

Hey Matt. Sorry took me so long to get around to leaving some comments. Your blog is humorous and enjoyable to read. It always brightens my day to find that you have seen some possible stabbing and made it through. I hope the trip is going well. I have to go now, for I am bleeding from working on a friends car. P.S. I want a mini-watermelon!
