GREETINGS, PPC! Guess who isn't dead and has in fact survived awful plumbing, reckless driving, delicious fattening food, awkwardness with relatives, being squeezed like a sardine on the Shanghai metro, the effing weather, fake eggs, questionable wifi, the Great Wall, and buildings older than the United States of America (and a lot of other countries too)?
This Boarder, that's who! -tosses stuffed pandas and fake eggs everywhere-
Now please remind me... was there a Multiverse Monitor I needed to make visuals for? -
How did you get such cute and adorable pandas? (nm) by

Can you stop the fang-panda from staring at me? It's weirding me out, like it's trying to steal my soul or something. I offered it eucalyptus, but I remembered too late that that's for koalas, and now the panda's not even moving. I think I made it mad, but I can't tell, and I'm not sure whether it'll charge when I try to back away. Do pandas charge people? This is rapidly becoming an important question.

If I may be so bold, what precipitated your trip to the Middle Kingdom? Were you visiting family? Being a tourist?

Both, actually. by

Awkward family reunions were mentioned earlier, after all. Most of my father's side of the family's there (excepting a crowd of great aunts and co. on the East Coast of the US), and one of my other maternal aunties lives in Hangzhou.
We also went on some tours of Beijing and Sichuan. I recommend Chinese tour groups; they at least make a conscious effort to book you into five-star hotels for cheap. :'D -

From one family-visiting tourist to another, I'm glad to hear you had a good trip.
From what I remember, Sichuan's a lovely place, if a bit rural. Did you visit anywhere shiny/interesting on the tours? -

Fake eggs? by

Malaysia had a problem with this once. Namely, some irresponsible madmerchants decided to make fake eggs out of food additives, and sell it as real eggs. It arrives in Malaysia, and some good people died that day.

There's a rule against throwing random stuff around!... Because there is, right?

I read your message and fixated on fake eggs. What are they, and are there any number of ways to use them? Besides that, in what ways was the wifi questionable? Did it partake in any suspicious activities, or was it just a flickering mess that needed to work faster than it actually did?

They're eggs. But fake. by

They look and feel like the real thing but if you cook it and then throw it on the ground it's said to bounce like a bouncy ball
I was tempted to see if I could buy one and prank my friends with it.
Wifi in China doesn't allow Facebook or YouTube or Tumblr tags, and hates Google (takes a long time to search stuff on it). Also, there's always wifi but it's part of a mobile phone network; you gotta have an ID and password for the major mobile providers to get in. Even the free wifi comes at least at the cost of a mobile phone number because they send you the activation key through text. It's really convoluted. -

It is me or are PPCers who have been missing for a while been appearing lately? We should have a club names 'Formerly missing members'
Anyways, welcome back! Your trip sounded like so much fun! *catches panda and dodges eggs*
And I'm not sure who you're talking about. Sorry ^.^' -

I've been presumed dead by the Flowers for over a year. However, I was merely enjoying Maritius home of the Dodo, the Maritius broadbilled parrot, the pink pigeon, and countless other species that were driven extinct. On the upside, I found a time portal after I went to Tasmania, and brought back 245 extinct thylacines. But before I get off topic, welcome back!

Have I threatened- met, met, I meant met- you before? I feel like your nickname is Platy and I may have once been encouraging you to continue a story aaaaahhh I do know you! I think. I can't remember the story's title or your full screenname right now, but it was probably a Mary Sue parody and I had no idea you were in the PPC! Hiiii.
Well, and if you're a different Platypus, I apologize and it's nice to see you anyway.
