Latest Wishy Washyness

My plans seem to change here twice a day, get an ARC, not get an ARC, go here, go there. Today two of my classmates told me about a country called Macao a country that's owned by China but somewhat independent like Hong Kong, they flew there for a little over USD$100 and had a new visa in 24 hours. And they speak Portuguese there so you can read the street names easier to the Taxi drivers. This is appealing because an ARC is USD$130, but it's not often granted, whereas a new visa from Macao is much more likely to be granted. And I get to go to a Chinese country that speaks Portuguese, how many people get to do that?
I've been busy lately, district convention last week-end, English convention this week-end, Typhoon, spent 4 hours in immigration, was denied by 3 banks and "sent elsewhere" by immigration yesterday, met lots of people, I've taken 5 cold showers, fixed my friends toilet with a coat hanger and chewing gum, ate lots of American food, hung out with Chris & Danielle & Gina at a dead guy's memorial (building), weighed myself (179 pounds), hung out with Pu Dixiong's family & friends... and probably other stuff I can't remember or describe. (edit 401)
