Mysterious and Misplaced Logic of a Maniac Gone Awry

http://www.mysteriousandmisplaced.com/blog

This blog tells the story of our journey in and around China since we arrived in August 2006. It details the good, the bad, and the unexplained of our sometimes misadventures. I hope this blog educates people who are thinking about joining the Laowai Army. Right now, for the time being, we are living in Xiamen, Fujian, China, Enjoy.

Hrm . . . how did these ever slip by me? Very good question. Well, I suppose late is better than never, or so they say, right? This isn’t the best picture of a dragonfly that I have taken, but I really did love his color. I chased him ar...
Scary Chinese Elevator Door

For some reason, we thought this was one of the scariest elevator doors that we had ever seen and insisted on getting it on video. I will admit that while it just looks like an elevator on video, it was rather terrifying in person. Having no real lig...

So, I’ve noticed something. It seems my previous post, One, Two, Freddy’s Coming Back for You, from way back in 2008, has recently become my number one post of all time. I am assuming it has something to do with the trailer for the n...
Last Night in Our Shenyang, China Apartment

Posted on Saturday November 7th, 2009 at 23:25 in travel, china, Chinese, apartment, phil, shenyang

We really didn’t stay in Shenyang long enough to get to know the city as well as perhaps we wanted, but we were there just long enough to make our apartment feel a little bit like home. And that is why it made it even more frustrating to repa...

A long time ago, I posted a picture of what a soft sleeper train car looked like in China, but the picture was a little distorted and it was hard to gauge its actually size. The video Phil took helps, but not by much. I highly recommend forking u...
Trapped in the Beijing Airport

I don’t know how I ever forgot to post this particular video. I mean, it isn’t a ground breaking video or anything, but it did make me laugh when I watched it for the first time in a long time. As I mentioned in my last post, this w...
