Americans seem to like to heat their buildings (at least in New York) until they're warm enough that you could walk around in just a T-shirt. I sort of understand the logic to heating buildings when the winters are so harsh, but inside they're about 22℃, which means that when you walk in wearing several layers (as everyone who's outside does) you boil within 30 seconds. Not quite the right balance, perhaps.
I accidentally called my Chinese teacher a prostitute last week. How could I have known that the word for chicken in Mandarin also meant hooker? And why was I calling her a chicken in the first place? Answers on a postcard to the usual address.
About Me
- Rob T
- I'm tall, incredibly handsome, tanned, muscular, fantastically wealthy, enjoy long walks, talking about my feelings and lying about myself on the internet.
On the truth side of things, I'm a PhD student at Columbia University in New York, studying modern Japanese literature.
Some time next decade, I'll be Dr. Rob T...

Tuckysan,
When are you back in England's green and pleasant land? I'll be in London 21st/22nd Dec and then Ipswich from the 23rd to 27th so not too far away if you're in Cambridge and fancy a pint
Nobby
Yeah, I'll be in Cambridge around that time. I'll look you up when I get back and we can sort something out.
Rob - Joe and I are in New York. Call me and show us where the best place for beers is in town!!
