Shanghai Shamrock

Fear Comes in Jug Form at 80 Cents a Pop


Nick is Both my Roommate and my Umbilical Cord


Sanctuary


If any people understand excessive drinking its the Chinese. Seriously they ingest 5 yuan (about 80 cents) jugs of fire water called baijiu that makes you blind. But given that I'm relatively sure my liver is Irish, I was not going to be outdone on St. Patrick's Day. Nick (Oh, I haven't introduced you to Nick yet, where are my manners?) and I left our apartment looking for challengers only to find that we were being gawked at more than usual. It seemed my Chinese comrades were unaware of this glorious holiday and were amused by the two white devils doing their best Barney Gumble impressions. Eventually we were able to find solace at Xian O'Mally's (Chinese/Irish Pub). They were submerging shots of Jameson and Baileys into Glasses of Guinness for $3 dollars a piece. It was as civilized an evening as I've ever had.
