this is how it all started, curtis came to beijing at the beginning of our 'crazy trip across china without speaking chinese'; we went out the night before we left to hang out with some friends that we would not see again when all the sudden we got into a discussion about the proper methods of chopstick use; curtis proceeded to let me know that i didn't use them correctly and soon after this picture was taken; it was too bad that such a small but important discussion got out of control but the battle ended in a draw and it didn't greatly affect the trip at all...a real close call
