optimism is overrated, literacy is not

you know you have hit a low point in your life when you must rely on pictures selected by chinese advertisers for a chinese market, in order to purchase the basic necessities of living.

par example:

pictures of sparkling dishes --> dish soap, as opposed to toxic bleach.

these caveman scratches are the only thing saving me from accidental poisoning.

also, i work at ikea, but ikea translated into actual functioning society, not just some kind of neatly organized yet entirely chaotic swedish nirvana. imagine the home office section. drop in a lot of asians, with some random white people sprinkled in. asians who work. all the time.

the conference room floats in midair.

in a couple weeks, i get to take a lovely journey to meet with a bunch of asian parents who pay thousands of RMB to put their 14 month old children in English class.
