China is the place to get a custom suit made. I went with Maddy to Luo Hu to meet up with John Chi the tailor to get fitted for some sweet shirts and suits that will make me look pimp when I get back to NY. $150 for a suit and $22 per shirt is pretty good.

On the way over, I was watching my Cowon A2 video player - watching episode 1 of Knight Rider, actually - and a woman next to me asked how much I paid for it. I said $300 USD. She gave me her card and said she works in electronics. Her name is Swan. hahaha. I wanted to ask if she was "ugly duckling" when she was growing up.

I also just got my tax refunds... direct deposit, baby. Basically, I filed my taxes and wrote off a LOT of business related expenses. I did all the taxes myself and read up on all the different ways to save - various IRAs, what counts as a business expense, and that sort of thing. So in the end, I got almost $2500 back from NY state and Federal - I'd say that's pretty awesome considering last year the idiot accountant who did my taxes didn't write off a goddamn thing and I ended up paying way more than I should have. Do your own taxes. That's all I have to say.
