I got a call from my parents asking if I was in Hong Kong. I repeated to them that the flight I got onto hours ago did not go to Hong Kong. Apparently someone posted an old photo of a lunch we had together on my Facebook wall and my parents were led to believe it happened recently.

Instead of heading to the cafeteria, I decided to go off campus for lunch as I believed it would be quicker this way when I had a lot of work to do. I crossed the street to get some dumplings and wontons from a street vendor. When I told the shopkeeper that I wanted it for take-out, they told me that it cost an extra dollar to do so. I agreed to this proposition.

A performance enhancing drug called “Cadence” was advertising itself inside of a video game. It claimed to “ruin your friends lives, and yours too” as its selling point.*

–Our family had just landed and my parents luggage had arrived first in baggage claim. I handed the suitcase to a stranger to look after it for us while we waited for my bag. When it was time to leave, we realized that the man was gone along with our baggage. We had no identifying information about this person so we had no choice but to carry on with our vacation. My dad spent days looking at “criminal feeds” to see if the person had popped up anyways. But alas it was fruitless for we had no real leads to go off of.
