It’s Official

Today I officially became a Beijing resident, which is kind a peculiar coincidence considering it’s Thanksgiving.  It was no big deal, I went with a representative of the management company to the police station, and five minutes later I was officially registered as living at this address.  Piece of cake. 

One funny thing was a restaurant I saw on the way which was called—I swear I’m not making this up—“Seafood and Fungus.” Now, I’m sure that the fungus in this context meant “mushrooms,” but it was still funny as hell.  If I ever see it again I’ll take a picture of it with my phone, which I would have done today if we weren’t whizzing past in a car at the time.
