"Experimentar el mundo a través de información interminable de segunda mano no es suficiente. Si queremos autenticidad, hay que iniciarla. Nunca sabremos nuestro verdadero potencial a menos que nos esforcemos a encontrarlo. Es esta auto-descubrimiento que inevitablemente nos lleva a los lugares más salvajes de la tierra " Travis Rice

This is the view from one of the treadmills.
After asking around and a lot of hand motions, I found a legit gym with an underground Muay Thai area, ring included. Now if learning how to count in Chinese were only this easy.
Good morning from Beijing, China! Nothing like opening my door to these. Went out in search for a gym by doing exercise motions in front of the valet of hotels. Luckily, one guy said, “Hey man, I speak English, Gym is on the 4th floor.” Although expensive, it’ll do for now.
It’s that time again. I’m off to a foreign country in 2 days and as always, to those who send me their address, I will send you something authentically “MADE IN CHINA”. E-mail me at: Degenh@hotmail.com or send me your name and address through my question box. It’s that little area that says, ‘Preguntas’.
It’s going to be a busy year for me whilst in Beijing. Not only will I be teaching English, I’ll also be working on grad school applications along with Muay Thai training, in which I plan to take some fights. So stay posted and let the adventures begin.
Boom Shakalaka!!
Got my Chinese Business Visa in the mail today. Doin big things
Anonymous ASKED:
Oh man oh man, I miss chifa so much! I haven't found anything close to it in California.
Chinese Food? Peruvians are always on my case about this but let Wikipedia break it down for you.
“Chifa is a term used in Peru to refer to a style of Chinese cooking in which the ingredients originally used from China were substituted by those available in Peru.”
Yes, Chifa is Peruvian-Chinese food, and although it’s not 100% Chinese, it’s pretty damn close. If you’re craving ‘Lomo Saltado’, just ask for something with beef in it and have them throw in some french fries.
Me: Man, I miss flirting in English. Spanish is challenging
Kelly: Ya dude, spitting game in Spanish is hard
Preston: Oh yeah? Trying flirting in Chinese, you're going nowhere quick
