the little things...

i feel like i always forget the little things that happen on these exciting, jam-packed trips. so i'm going to make personal notes of the silly things that happen on the trip. most are more "you-had-to-be-there" moments, so sorry if y'all get uber-confused!

• getting owned by taiwanese elevator doors, very much like Max walking through the Control doors in Get Smart (2008)
• old men and their midriffs... NOT. ATTRACTIVE.
• vivian's swollen ankles
• justin's mosquito-eaten chest
• andrew's sleeping postures
• lynn's treks to find her international ultimate frisbee group
• doing HIIT with andrew peck, the most hilarious session yet (chris dang leading warmups, a close second)
• holding up pants while jogging, awkward lunges, double-jointed arms
• crowded buses & hilariously awkward/uncomfortable butt-to-butt contact
• the janky, dubious-looking weighing scale that claimed i weighed 53 kg (117 lbs!), implying an 8-9 lb. weight gain in only 3 weeks
• alan, the creepy-smile guy we met randomly on the street, who then invited us up to his friend's hotel room, which turned out to be some nerdy international education staff meeting. (the room was completely unfurnished except for aqua-colored foam puzzle tiles...) an "i'm-sorry-what-just-happened"  experience
• middle-aged kareoke + australian line dancing
• bar 7(-Eleven)
