Dear Chinese Guys,

Thanks for inviting me to your Full Moon Party. I especially liked the surprise karaoke! And for teaching me it's ok to drink beer out of a bowl. That's a star I could really hitch my wagon to. (Thanks, J.)

Also, when you say "Bottom's up" you literally mean, "The bottom of your drinking apparatus must be facing the sky," even if it's A. a bowl and will spill all over you, or B. a 750 mL beer, that's full... and heavy. And as much as I appreciate your enthusiasm (really, I do!), I don't do laundry nearly often enough to spill beer all over my clothes.

Cheers,
r
