Welcome zuisa! It would be kind of cool if you were Gengis Khan, but I think if you were, any flamewars could end very VERY badly. So it's better that you aren't.
I like the way the walls go out. Gives you an open feeling. Firefly is a good design. People don't appreciate the substance of things. Objects in space. People miss out on what's solid.

You were a wrong baby who grew up wrong. The wrong kind of wrong. It's better you hear it from a friend.
I personally am not Genghis Khan, but my roommate is indeed Mongolian. So, that's close, yeah?? And I do think Harbin is lovely and fascinating, but most of the other foreigners here with me don't agree.
You're in Harbin? I would love to check it out round ice sculpture time. (I'm guessing, not now.)

Welcome zuisa!
It would be time to make the many different frostings for my many cupcakes, but I forgot to tell my sister when she got up to take the butter out of the fridge. So gotta wait for that to get more room temp.

What else besides ramen can you scoop? YOU CAN SCOOP THIS WORLD FROM DARKNESS!
Welcome, Genghis Khan! I mean, zuisa.

call me jacki; zuisa is an internet nick from ancient times =)
I'll will try my best to hold my own in flamewars despite not being hell-bent on world domination.
Oh, who am I kidding. Flamewars start, I run and hide.
The Ice Sculptures ARE awesome, but the night I was there it was like -40. I wanted to die. It was 91 here today though.... Harbin's weather certainly runs the gamut.

Well, there is that. Still, given that kind of weather, I'd like there to be ice sculptures.
So what brought you to Harbin?

I got a scholarship to study Chinese!! So I more or less just got sent here. But I'm at Heilongjiang University, and... yeah. Just hanging out and learning Chinese.

And then Ortus came and said "It's Ortin' time" and they all Orted off into the sunset
It's about three million degrees in NYC today. I may melt.
Good thing I made ice cream this morning! (More of a sherbet actually - I took what was left of my strawberry-rhubarb shortcake filling, added what was left of the cream, blended until smooth and dumped it in the ice cream maker. Improvisation = noms.)

That is quite awesome. (My wife is Chinese. I know about enough Chinese to tell when she's talking smack about me. I love the language, though. I was sold when I discovererd the Chinese for penguin is 'goose standing upright'.)
