the dvds have been playing in my roommates laptop, but not mine cuz its old as shit and doesnt have a dvd rw drive, but it works on everyone elses...some of the dvds have subtitles but they can be turned off in the options. the only thing that got in the way were these retarded english subtitles at the bottom of munich (which was in english anyway), they were some wierd attempt at translating the english into english again or something. either way, at like 80 cents a piece i dont care if they work when i come home.
no one here does any drugs, the penalties if you get caught with it are extremely harsh, as are the penalties if you do anything wrong...its safe as shit here
most of the chinese girls are ugly as hell, but there are a lot of pretty cute ones, like the one sitting next to me here in this internet cafe...i think shes just about the only one who isnt playing WoW or WC3 or something right now
