Just joined this group. Thanks to all who voted for my blogging. To be honest, I think Richard should have got it. He's got way more blogs on here than I do, by far.
From reading all the messages on here, I take it that it's going to be a normal thing at each year's Choonies to talk trash about each other. Is that about right? If so, I apologize in advance for not having anyone to talk trash about, except myself, of course. And, don't get me started on that. I could go on for hours dissing myself. LOL

Since it seems like the place where everybody leaks everybody else's ass, I would like to quote a text message received from tall Paul from New zeland who has been here in Changchun for more than ten years : 'Thanks Vincent I really enjoyed the show (SOCC in Gong Da). I did not fully understand that it was all a changchun friends arrangement. My congratulations to Richard Roman and Alex for getting a great concept off the ground'

NOBODY KNOWS...
I am extremely pleased to have receive more than one honorable mention, upon my departure from Changchun, during this awards ceremony. As far as I know, there is NO video evidence of y'all talking shit about me during the party!
It was an eventful experience (20% of my life) and worthy of further Poetry Nights in my future.
I have already (six months later) told many stories of my time in Noodleville with all of you; I can not guarantee that I will use a nom de plume to protect the innocent/guilty.
I would like to thank Alex and the 3 Martins for immortalizing our friendships through song.
Once again guys... it was an honor (NOT spelled with a "u") and an absolute joy knowing all of you. Whatever you do... don't weep because of my departure; embrace it!

I would like to extend my sentiments of gratitude to Dutch Martin who, it appears, accepting the award in my place, performed the rites of extreme unction with a typically unparalleled and ingenuous egoism.
