I thought that being a legendary blogger required actual updating! Sweet!

Anyway, that Harbin comment is a completely accurate description of one character in particular who was in Harbin when I was there. There are certain stories that probably shouldn't be blogged.

You are legendary because countless bloggers consider you the best, despite your infrequency.

I've never been to Harbin, but of all the cities to which I have never been, I feel I know it the best. I say this having been to Vladivostok and Sakhalin Island so many times and having been to China so many times, and having heard about Harbin by so many of my friends from Vlad, and having almost gone to Harbin so many times. Anyway, all I do is combine Vladivsotok with Dalian, throw in a bit of Sakhalin, and voila, Harbin.

Okay, so maybe I'm wrong, but please, don't anybody mess me up on this one.

Based on the above, I am with you all the way with the ex-Cambodia thing.

Oh -- so I'm legendary like Bigfoot.

I guess this is where I'd say something about how I'm going to update really soon, but...

And Brendan's Harbin one is indeed classic. Although to be fair I think every Chinese city has at least one character with a heavy alcohol habit and a suspect past in Southeast Asia.

Probably true, but the ratio HAS to be higher in Harbin, it just has to be.

He concocted the methamphetamine story from his roots in the Central Valley of California, the crystal meth capital of the US and imagined himself a bearded, turbaned tribal warlord traveling the country on horseback.

Ah, college....
