Episode 9: Just a Kiss Away

While we were away: In Houston, Texas, USA, The Mopheaded Darling met Yao Ming's parents; the Giddy Cynic endured a 17 hour flight to Ethiopia alongside 397 Chinese traders, 3 other women, and some fed-up stewardesses; and while they were gone the World-Weary Sleuth lived for three days on instant ramen, without electricity.
