chinese travel

Went to a wedding in Boston yesterday, and decided to leave on motzei, taking the Chinese bus. It was unbelievable--$10 for a bus ride that would be about $70 on Greyhound. It goes from Chinatown to Chinatown, and was half-empty (at least, my bus was). I have no idea how they make money, but I'm certainly not complaining.

Of course, I more than made up for the money I saved when I realized, 2 hours into the busride, that I had left my wedding shoes in NYC. Oops--now that's typically me. So I hit the stores second thing on Sunday morning, picked up a pair of gorgeous 3-inch heels for way too much money (which I really could use them in any case, so it wasn't that useless). Came back to my friend's at 12:25, and got to the wedding at 1:30. I could improve my timing, but it was pretty impressive, I thought. Plus, I squeezed in getting together with some old friends for breakfast beforehand.

I got a lift back to the city with some girls who I was so impressed with, but also got me feeling very frustrated. These were 2 girls, both of whom went to Bais Yakov, and then to BJJ, then to great colleges in their respective hometowns. One's now working, the other's in med school, and they were just incredibly frum, down-to-earth, intelligent, and fun, and I left them wondering where are the equivalent guys for them? I certainly haven't come across anything similar to them in my dating adventures.
