So normally I like to do recap posts of my day. Mostly because my memory sucks and I like to be able to look back and remember what the heck I did. But it gets boring after awhile. Let’s see… Wednesday night we had dinner at Hong Mei Lu with some of Peter’s coworkers, ate … More Day 263: Just Some Observations
Have a great day everybody 🙂
A delicious meal for $5. Sounds too good to be true right? Not so in China! Local restaurant food is extremely cheap in China. Take this meal: Miso soup, a small salad, and rice bowl with chicken and egg for 28rmb. This comes to about $4.50 US dollars. Pretty great right? Now if you want … More Day 261: $5 meals and CSA Farms in China
There are times when I’m in my apartment and I forgot that I am in China. The air conditioning is blowing, Hulu is streaming my favorite show, and I’m checking Instagram on my phone. Then there are times when I’m in other people’s apartments and I remember exactly where I am. One of the largest … More Day 259: Protests and Parties
Hello again! Another blog post in the same day! Why? Peter set up the router and my VPN! Hooray! Now I can access WordPress from my own laptop while he plays video games. Why do boys like video games so much? It’s so weird. Boys also like badminton. But so do I. Here is last Saturday’s photo … More Day 258: Bad at Badminton
Hello friends! And good night to you (and good morning for me!) It is super smoggy in Shanghai today which makes me nervous to go outside and walk to lunch. However I just made myself a green smoothie so hopefully it will protect me somewhat from the gross weather. They never said city living … More Day 257: Room with a View
It worked!!! For days I’ve been trying to figure out how to get full-sized photos from my computer to Peter’s laptop. Turns out I was emailing them as “small” instead of “actual size”. Dear me that was frustrating. You have no idea how badly I’ve wanted to blog this week. Shanghai is crazy cool and … More Day 256: Into the Vortex
So I almost titled this post “Shanghai Bound”. Then I searched my archives just in case. And what do you know. Exactly 100 days ago I was Shanghai Bound for my second trip to China. Crazy. But this time I am staying for good. Crazier. What keeps me calm is the fact that I have a … More Day 255: Shanghai Bound… Again
The time has come my friends. My bags are packed. My clothes are laid out. My arms tingle in anticipation of lugging around 150 pounds of luggage. Good thing I like to lift heavy. But I’m always getting ahead of myself. Let’s get back to Tuesday! My second to last day in town. Somehow I … More Day 254: Back to Bangs
So Monday was my real last day of work. It was a little less exciting and celebratory but good all the same. Some of my coworkers joined us at Chilis for some drinks and appetizers after work which was so kind of them. I went crazy with a mango margarita and sweet potato fries. Live … More Day 253: Bib Necklace and Packing Woes
