秋天终于开始了

Autumn has finally arrived and quite suddenly too. When I got back from Bangkok I found the weather to be much chillier than before. And finally it is setting in that autumn has begun. I've felt as though I was living in a perpetual summer, when in reality this academic year is quickly going to pass and I am graduating at the end of it.
I need to say now that food in Nanjing is terrible. Since food is a large part of my livelihood, it depresses me that I have yet to find a single restaurant that I can say is actually entirely palatable. Every nutrient in every dish is sapped by the method of cooking and flavor is only a factor of how much MSG was added. Even the Sichuanese food served here is nothing special. It's like the quality of water very far from its high altitude source: shitty. So the act of eating has become a part of my day that I dread.
Today I learned two insults in Chinese that I thought were hilarious:

你生儿子没屁眼
Ni sheng erzi mei pi yan
You will bear a child without an asshole.

操你祖宗十八代
Cao ni zuzong shiba dai
F--- 18 generations of your ancestors.
