Month's Mind

I posted a similar list last time, so why not again?! I've been here exactly a month today and here are a few miscallaneous observations thus far:
  1. No. of Chinese taller than me (I'm about 6'2"): 1
  2. No. of left-handed Chinese: 4
  3. No. of obvious Chinese lesbians: 3
  4. No. of obvious Chinese homosexuals: 6 (all in or around hair salons!)
  5. Coldest day: Last Thursday. I went out just after the rain stopped and with the wind chill factor, it felt freezing. It must have been as low as low as 20 or 21 Celsius! I almost didn't feel warm in my light shirt!
  6. Worst creepy crawlie: Whatever the hell bit me while I was asleep the other night. I woke up with 2 welts that have been itchy ever since!
  7. Best thing so far: Being in a relationship (for the women), seeing Padraig Harrington play golf at very close quarters (for the men). The massage is a close second though!
  8. Worst thing so far: The second Vietnam war and the ensuing stand-off!
  9. Estimated chances of getting a suitable well paid job: 1%
  10. Estimated chances of getting a suitable decently paid job: 7%
  11. Estimated chances of getting a suitable job with crap pay: 15%
  12. Best things here compared to home: public transport, food, shopping, low tax
  13. Worst things here compared to home: TV, the heat/humidity, general manners/attitute to others

How could I have forgotten about the massage for one of the best things so far?!!

I have added a reference to it in the list.
