we played monopoly for the rest of the night. that's shuyi's hand in the background. she ended up the winner, partly thanks to a transaction we had. in exchange of something i owned, she promised that i didn't have to "pay rent" when i land on her property. she needed the "illinois ave" i had [see that card on the foreground of the picture?] so she could build houses and stuff. with that, she went on to nail the rest of the people, while i happily hopped around the board scotfree.
