FROM THE ARCHIVES: ASIA IS BEAUTIFUL BUT MY STOMACH FEELS LIKE A CAULDRON OF BOILING SALSA

Tanya was delighted to be in Asia. She thought about the peculiar foreign trees she would see and how they might smell.

In Japan, she will be referred to as "hakujin." Would pizza taste different there?

"The pizza is totall diff," said Coney. Coney was an American artist living in Hong Kong.

"Really?" she said.

"Yeah, they're fucking serious about it over there. I mean, over here." Coney licked the syringe. "And the crazybread is delicious."

'I love Asia,' thought Tanya.

Coney looked at her as if he could read her thoughts.

"I love pizza," said Coney.
