The Great Escape.

They had dashed through the sensory overload of Hong Kong, survived the madness in Guangzhou, and succesfully arrived in Yang Shao. But this was going to be their most difficult mission yet: to escape from the sewer-smelling-hospital-feeling hotel owned by the sneaky and conniving owner they call Thomas who had tricked the 2 noodle ninjas into staying at his crappy hotel for 3 times too much.

It was 6 am. K and An had their bags all packed. Their route all mapped out. The plan was to make a mad dash from the sewer hotel to the heaven hotel 2 blocks down before the crazy pushy sewer hotel owner woke up.

"Ready?" An whispered. K gave the ninja sign for "ready". Just as An reached for the doorknob, there were 3 loud knocks at the door. It was Thomas. It was as if he knew we were about to escape.

"GOOD MORNING!" He bellowed. "We have breakfast for you! You wait here okay?" He gave a slimy smile and gave us the "You better not leave" look.

K and An, horrified, decided to make a make a mad dash for it as soon as the coast was clear and Thomas was out of sight. They raced through the streets and turned the corner, frantically running to the heaven hotel with their big backpacks. Just when they thought the coast was clear, a scooter looking disgustingly familiar was racing towards them. It was Thomas. He had tracked them down.

"Why you leave??? I have breakfast!!! I give you big discount!" He held up two bags of noodles.

After a few minutes of advance noodle ninja negotiating technique, An and K were finally rid of Thomas and headed inside the heaven hotel. Freedom never felt so good.

Yay!

I was missing you SO much and thought I'd check le blog and there you are!

I think I will remember "Where you going? I have big noodle!" forever (I know that's not what he said, but that's how it is in my head). That was fucking funny.

Hey guess what - Liam gave me an awesome haircut! I am resorting to stalking all the people you know, so I went to see Liam, and sometimes I start outside your apartment buildings just hoping you might come out.

Miss you tons. It's retarded.
