I cheated a little by back-dating a my blog posts from my trip to the U.S.. In reality, I had actually composed those much earlier, but with only the one week in Shanghai sandwiched between the States and Taipei for Chinese New Year, and with the ongoing Britney Spears shaved head drama consuming most of my attention, I never got around to actually uploading them. So, mucho apologies for being MIA, but c’mon….aren’t you guys used to it by now?

So to win back your favor, check out some of the pics of me and my pals (yes, burritos are friends too) during my brief journey back in Cali.

My first big bite into the greatest invention ever

This was the the fourth In ‘N Out I had that day

The “Before” picture: isn’t it beautiful?

“Yes, I came all the way back for you!”

The “After” picture: the beautiful sight is now swimming in my stomach

“Dinner with Roger and Wendy. They’re not in the picture. This is me and my twin babies. Yes, I did eat both of these dishes.”

I tried to eat healthy one of the nights, and this was the result. Beautiful yellowtail roll

Back in Berkeley, still eating the same wonderful nectar-of-the-gods

Famous Zachary’s pizza; brought two frozen slices all the way back to Shanghai

One last healthy breakfast with the buddies before my flight
