* * *

*1 Pack it up, pack it in, let me begin….

*2 Historical banking district on the water in central Shanghai.

*3 Sarcasm…the difference between the neighborhoods carved out for white people in China and black people in America is that China shows off for white people, while the nicest thing America’s dropped off in the hood are Clark Wallabees, which Ghostface has to paint blue and cream to be any type of wearable.

*4 Fear of missing out.

*5 Foreigners.

*6 This is one reason why I’m glad I live in this era versus any other. I exist at a point in history where you can actually be ignorant of the middle, create for the margins, and live in a rabbit hole because of the internet. There are so many tentacles that grow from each and every subculture that if you want, you can make a living on any point of your countercultural spiderweb of choice. That is, until your industry actually makes an impact, crosses over, and attracts new followers, who unfortunately don’t want to understand the culture from its genesis and follow the throughline, but instead step into the arena and present their Ninety-Five Theses for how your culture should now be consumed.

*7 In Mandarin, it means “service person” or “waiter.”

*8 Johnnie Walker with wang lao ji at karaoke is also the most Chinese drink.

*9 I’ve known Corky for about a year now and it’s always dope when he hits me, ’cause the first thing he asks is, “You good, man?” Not in a “What’s up?” way or just casual checking-in way, he genuinely wants to know how people are doing, and it’s rare. I respect it. I respect it a lot.

*10 Big boss style.

*11 There was a zoo in China that had a Tibetan mastiff posing as a lion in an exhibit.

*12 Tortoise jelly.

*13 Coquí frogs are native to Puerto Rico and get dumb loud hollering at shawties.

*14 Kanye.

*15 More Jadakiss.

*16 One of my favorite episodes of Curb is when Larry gets called out for giving a dismissive bow.
