Sortesvin: Liquid Crack

I can now add the following to the list of experiences I am amassing here in Shanghai:

sortesvin (aka liquid crack): A black-hued homemade Danish liquor that starts out savory, goes down licorice sweet and finishes buttery. Three shots of this stuff and I still found myself stumbling three days later.

rickshawing: Riding on the back of a Chinese garbage wagon at 2:30 in the morning singing a ballad about Carolyn's left Stuart Weitzman shoe.

skalipping: What happens when you try to skip down the road to retrieve Carolyn's left shoe while drunk on sortesvin. You start with skipping but end with slipping. Ska-lipping.
