everyone's best friend now on facebook 05/26/2009
 being away from home in a foreign country can be lonesome at times. whether its a miserable chongqing winter day, or an unbearably hot day in one of the "3 furnaces", you can always count on your buddy in the green bottle to get you thru the tuff times. and now that faithful friend can be found on facebook. so give him/her an add and show him/her how much he/she really means to you. cici park 05/20/2009
