i’m back beeyotches! and i’d just like to say good night, i’m off to bed.

news flash! an ice cream cone in mcdonald’s in taiwan is $10 NT ~= $0.33 US and in hong kong is $2 HK ~= $0.29 US! i had at least 5 cones while in taiwan, and will probably have more here in hk. i’m lovin’ it!

did i ever mention how much i hate traveling? well it seems that the feelings mutual.
