Hasty way

Many apologies for this blog's severe hiatus. Let's celebrate with some entertaining English!

First of all, I just finished a box of chocolate milk. On the front, it says the following: "Our Chocolate flavored milk drink is hasty way to freshen up your day."

I have also had a student tell me that New York City is the capital of the earth. If you're thinking in stock exchange terms, I guess that statement is pretty accurate.

In other news, North Korea is planning to "launch a satellite" very soon, a serial killer has been caught (and everyone is interested in the fact that he's handsome), and I'm trying to work up the courage to buy a slab of yellow bread from the back of someone's truck (selling food from vehicles is quite common - there's a man who sells eggs from his car in our neighborhood, and we know when he's around because he always rings a little bell to announce his presence).

Also, all you Ohio dwellers, be jealous! It's jacket weather here!

Pictures! Chicken 'n beer with coworkers

There's this type of food/drink place you can go to that is neither restaurant nor bar. It specializes in fried chicken and beer. It's pretty common to go out with friends or coworkers in the evening for chicken and beer. The chicken is fine indeed (can we say SMOTHERED in garlic?) but I would not recommend the beer. The brand is Cass, and it tastes like stale water.
