sitting in front of building 3 waiting for our tutors...
a group going to Mongolia is waiting for their bus to arrive
Y's tutor asks Y: " where are they going"
Y who has been in Beijing for about 3 weeks tries to respond in mandarin: "they're going to 'mon-gwoh' (what she really said was mango in chinese, nothing close to mongolia"

dumplings, dumplings, dumplings
in Beijing...where they're famous for dumplings
at a restaurant, it's 8:30 and we're starving...
T is speaking to the waitress in mandarin: "do you guys have dumplings?"
waitress: "no"
K unaware of what was said has a pair of chopsticks in both hands and starts pounding on the table while chanting: "dumplings, dumplings, dumplings!"

Aidin's favourite singer is Whitney Spears! after Nicholas Cage
dee laughs hysterically at Aidin's mistakes
aidin's reaction: "pshh..dee you're only going out with me because i'm funny, not because of my personality"
hmmm..i always thought being funny was part of someone's personality?? i guess not!!!
Aidin to English Dictionary:
Donalda = Donald Duck
AmBLUEnce= ambulance
"i don't want to drag about it" = "i don't want to brag about it"
Aidin decided to join the gym. In the form he had to fill out there was a question about his goals at the gym.....

cheap oil that killed?
advanced reporting and writing class (first semester)
we're analyzing an article that read something like this: "a stampede to buy cheap oil in China killed several people..."
our professor asks us for our thoughts....
Julia who is often quite critical of China was shocked and asked: "what was in the oil that killed these people?"
after reading it again a second time she still didn't get it
it was not until the class reinforced the word 'stampede' that she realized it was the stampede that killed the people and not the cheap oil

drama queen
Zeeshan and Aidin are at "work" (if you can call working at uptown work)
they're on their lunch break and Aidin takes some of Zeeshan's food (as always)
Zeeshan tells him to eat his own food and gets annoyed with Aidin
Aidin's comeback....
A: stop being such a dry clean Zeeshan!
Z blows up b/c Aidin is such a fob: it's DRAMA QUEEN...now stop eating my food!

the new steroids
Zeeshan and Aidin are talking about working out
they jokingly talk about taking drugs to enhance their performance
Z: yeah I think I'm going to start taking asteroids
....no one joins the conversation....

apparently fish don't breathe
Zeeshan is dissing seafood again...
Z: fish aren't alive because they don't breathe
D: of course they breathe...and how the hell are they NOT alive? they swim in the ocean!
Z: no they don't breathe...they drink!
D: they breathe through their gills....
Z: no they drink the water and take the oxygen from the water...that's called drinking not breathing
D stops arguing with Z knowing full well this conversation will only go around in circles...(and takes Farina's advice to just post this on the web and end the conversation there)
