My roommate, like all Chinese males approximately my age, is an internet addict. Every time I return to the room, if he is present, he is in one of two positions. Hunched over his computer, consumed by whatever website his is staring at, or lying in bed. 99% of the time it is the website. Recently his soul was sucked into a website where if for ten days you neither eat nor sleep, nor rest nor go to the bathroom, but only fill out mindless forms you could win a trip to Africa. He got started two days late, but he surely made an effort in good faith, resting his eyeballs not once.

He's not going to Africa.
