Getting some street food. Holy crap it was delicious. The meat wasn’t leathery and they marinated it too.

A girl in our dorm just had her purse stolen by a motorbiker! The purse was under her coat and just barely sticking out at the bottom. The motorbiker drove by and tore the purse from her body before she could even react. Crazytown!
