Me :)
As a chinese princess! Today was another awesome day! I wont go too into detail because its already
12:30 am and joohee and i have a big day planned tomorrow.
I want to start off by saying that i just got done flossing! Just for you mom! Well, for me too, because it makes me feel good. I am so lucky to have the bestest mom in the whole wide world! (Yeah mom im talking to you!) you have always given me the most a daughter could ask for, and although i used to think the dentist was stupid and i hated going, the fact that you have made sure to keep my appointments up, fix my chip, and make me floss, is such a blessing, and luxury! As i get older (and dont forget wiser, wink wink) i am learning the importance of good dental hygiene, and im so grateful to have such pearly whites! Thank you mom for everything and ALL the things you have done for me, you have sacrificed so much to make sure i am happy and healthy. I love the fact that each time i pull out my floss i always think of you.. There are so many little things
we won the golden dragon!
At the night market, joohee and i spun a wheel and won the golden dragon! that remind me of you (like the frozen milk duds i saw at walmart today hehe). Anywayssss, back to my day..Lets see, i slept in today! I had woken up
at 5 am wide awake, but made myself fall back to sleep. I was having dreams of weddings, parties, the beach, a concert, so many great things (morning dreams are always the best). And since ive been so sober this trip my dreams have been so bright and lucid. Dreams like this morning always remind me of my evergreen roommate marya. I loved waking up in the morning and hearing about her crazy colorful adventure dreams. Those were some of my favorite mornings. I didnt wake again until 10 (yeehah!) and joohee and i struggled to get out of bed. We were so lethargic it was strange. Anyways, i skipped doing my laundry in the sink (shame shame) and we went across the street to one of our favorite chow mien hole in the walls called "happy snacks"! It was pamelas last day so we invited her to join. We always get the same thing, chow mien, wo bu chi rou! (Fried Noodles, i dont eat meat!) It comes with noodles, fried
fun night
sister from another minster. Han meimei1 and Han meimei2! egg, and cabbage, haha the boss of happy snacks (la ban) knows us now and always sits with us to help us with our grammar and 'ordering off the menu' skills. We didnt see him today but i think it was his wife that helped us. It was bomb like the usual, and on the plus side cost only a buck and a nickel. Afterward we grabbed our books from our dorm and went back across the street to Ife coffee. I got a cappuccino, read and checked some things on my account for school and bank stuff. You get to use their internet when you buy a coffee, thats usually when i post my blogs and such. Around 4 Joohee and i met up with Hirsh, our teacher, to trek over to walmart to look for a hat, and a luggage. Walmart is bad i know, but very close by and hey, i never shop there and was curious to see what it was like in china. It was entertaining and strange! I mean, there were sea turtles for sell, and not in the pet section people! Right next to the frogs and other strange animals chinese people like
Buddha
Buddha and his babies! to eat! The english on the shirts were just as horrible as the ones on the street and there were only 2 cereal options! I do miss my cereal 😞. I found a super dope panda cap, see picture for details, that will keep the sun off my face on these hot sunny days. It was only 4 bucks too! My teacher got himself a hat too and joohee found her luggage! Once we got back to campus we all had dinner together at the school canteen and it was cheap and yummy, i got noodle soup with veggies of my choice and liking, only 2 yuan! Not even .30 cents! I love to save money on food so i can go shopping for souvenirs! Afterward joohee and i decided to check out the night market off of wufeng st, we had sooo much fun!! I got so many great goodies for all my pals back home, and picked out a nice silk dress for myself (with a neat matching cherry blossom head flower crown). I am officially a chinese princess, aka gege p, or at least i feel like one 😊!! We also got a customized candy dragon and
Way too excited
Ive been wanting one of these since I got to china, and I finally got one! For only a $1.40! yeppie! laughed the night away at our obnoxious bargaining skills. I was a total ninja and we snagged a cab the first 30 seconds we stepped out of the market. We got home around 10 and got to talk with Nicholas, and now im snuggling in my sleeping bag planning out the day tomorrow (which will include laundry because i have no clean panties left, oh my!). So its 1 now and im sleepy. Goodnight! Ps. My right thumb is growing bigger then my left from typing all my blogs on my ipod.. Now i have a beefy right thumb.. Sweet! ^^
