cushion under a fat man's ass

My place is at the heart of the city of Shanghai.
马当路. It’s where 新天地 is.
Yup, neat huh? Wait till you see my place.
I was shocked at the non-existence of a living room.
I open my main door to the kitchen every evening,
while the other Singaporean interns are living in Singapore style condos.
But this is what Amy calls ‘experiencing the REAL CHINA’
So you can imagine how cramp my place is, not to mention run-down.
Speaking of cramp, this morning I was on the metro to work and I felt like cushion under a fat man’s ass. It is usually crowded and squishy
but this morning takes the cut.
I bought groceries and my garlic bread breakfast in a plastic bag
to stock up at work.
While I was in the metro, I couldn’t see the plastic bag I was holding
and by the time I got out, my garlic bread was cushion under a fat man’s ass.
Tomorrow I will try to upload photos
using the Starbucks wireless below my office building.
Anywhere in the world can feel like a dump,
as long as ure in a Starbucks, ure home.
