Two more weeks!
It's been so long since my last post....
As the title says, two more weeks until I go home!!!!! so excited!
Audrey...yes..sweat and sour sauce....it tastes amazing. The US should offer it as well! :)
Jackie, haha. maybe later.
Julia, I wish he had came....
Pungseon, nooooo is she back now?!
So as some Julia has mentioned to me, it seems like I have fallen off the other side of the world...haha. Actually, last week I was in Beijing with my grandparents. :) Saw the Bird's Nest and the Water Cube! And ate a microwaved hamburger there! The subway in Beijing is so crazy....they make you walk way too much, when you don't need to! I saw Mao Zedong!!!!! Yes, I did. Waited in a ridicously long line (long, but fast moving. bascially walked for an hour). His face is very very orange.
To Relayers, I am so sorry I didn't call!!! When you were all walking around MP, I was just getting off the train to Beijing and starting to sight see....Plus, it turned out that my calling card number doesn't work from Beijing....I did however where my Relay shirt from last year the next day!!!!!
To Promers, I really tried to call...this time, I was in Hangzhou. I called Audrey's cellphone before getting on the train, but let voice messages. Since my card number doesn't work in Hangzhou either, my dad transfered our house number phone to Audrey's cellphone...but of course, problems came. It only connected for a second. I hope the constant 1 second phone calls showed my intention of really wanting to talk to you all! Haha...and then, I called Audrey at 7AM the next morning and told her to wake up. I know you love me Audrey. :) <3
Pictures pictures. Those were supposed to be uploaded today, but I had problems with the Coffee Bean again. This time, the internet worked fine, but I couldn't log on to anything! Log-in pages just wouldn't work. No gmail, no facebook, no msn, no logging in to anything. So....must wait a few more days.
I went to the Urban Planning Center today! Amazing. Since I went late, I didn't get to see everything, but still, amazing!
I would like to thank gossip updaters. You make my day! HAHAHA.
Alanna, has left! No :( I am so saddddddddd
During my Hangzhou trip, Vicky and I discovered that Ajisen exists in Los Angeles (and New York, and Boston and some other city....). So, I have decided that when we go to Los Angeles, we HAVE TO GO TO AJISEN.
Alright, enough for now. A uncle of sorts is coming to fix this laptop (my grandpa's).

Around the World for 80 Days
Creative title?! hahaha....
As I was on the metro after work yesterday, listening to my music, I remembered that I should change the blog music. How to choose a song though? Counting the days since I have been gone, I got 80. It's already been 80 days?! Yes. So, I went to "Shuffle Songs" and chose the 80th song. Thus, 当我们宅一块 by 罗志祥 (Show/Alan Luo). Haha. Nice song? I used to think it was annoying, but now I quite like it. The best part is when he mentions the Wii. Hahahahaha. Can you hear it?! So, as always, the blog song has a meaning. (Oh, by the way, the name of the song means "When We are Together"). Thus, even though we are on opposite sides of the world, and it's been 80 days, we are still together!!!! <3 Enjoy the song! (I hope it works okay...)
Oh! Am I wrong in assuming this week is probably a little depressing for some people? If so, I hope this song cheers you up! ;)
When I'm out and about Shanghai, I usually think of things to write about on this blog. But, when I actually sit down to write, I always forget. There's so many stories to tell you all, but just not enough time.
Here's one little fact I've been meaning to tell you all. Did you know McDonalds here only gives you Sweat and Sour sauce if you buy chicken nuggets?! How crazy is that?! I guess if they're nice, they might also give it to you if you buy other stuff...but they're not supposed to. Oh! And KFC doesn't have Mac n Cheese! What a shame...Either does KFC in Europe! What a shame...Does KFC sell chips (french fries) in the US? ....I can't remember.
Speaking of Mac N Cheese, I found Kraft Mac N Cheese!!! Yes! It was in the imported section of Carrefour! Haha...unfortunately, we don't cook at our flat. So, I tried my own way of cooking it a little. I took a plastic cup, poured in water (too much water) from the water boiler, and then poured in a little macaroni (or in this case, shells). Then, I placed a zip-lock bag over it so it would stay warm. A little while, the pasta was soft! Yay. So then, I added the cheese powder...but there was too much water. Then, I remembered the milk! And, it just so happened I had some in my backpack. Sadly, every time I touched the little milk box, it would squirt out of the straw. First onto the floor, then onto my jeans, then onto my mobile. It finally made it into the pasta cup. I stirred and stirred. Then I ate the pasta. Not very cheesy, but still satisfied a little my craving for Mac N Cheese. Hopefully I will get to eat some properly cooked Mac N Cheese soon!
New flatmates have arrived! Jamie (sp) and David! They are both from CA...actually, they're friends. Nice people! Very cheerful.
I'd like to take this chance to reply to the comments left on the last entry:
Audrey, yes I actually didn't get to eat most of the peanut stuff you all gave me before I left! Because of the peanut scare, I was told to not eat it. It's still sitting in my box...:( I only got to eat some of the crackers on the plane and the peanut butter (which I have been eating a lot the last few days). I also had some of the peanut M&Ms. Glad you like the picture! :) Hopefully when I come back, I'll be more okay with taking pictures! Haha. Yes, "sigh-idiot secretary".
Amy, !!!!!! It means so much to me that you finally commented!!! Aww. Guinea Pig! You should see the tiny (TINY) bunnies they sell here! Oh, and I saw little baby chickens,....and maybe even tiny (TINY) dogs....Does the pictures still not work?! I don't know how to make it fix it....if you still can't see it...it's my profile picture on Gmail and Facebook!
爸爸，tsk tsk tsk. I've already told you my thoughts. :) Haha, though, thanks for the Resse's idea. Though, it's still not the same! <3 <3 <3 Love & miss you!
Julia, yes. Big bummer. I hope I feel better soon too! Sadly, no he is not coming. I so wish it though!!! By the way, thanks again for the last web chat. Haha, it was soooooo much fun. GEE GEE GEE GEE BABY BABY BABY.
Guess what all? I heard the most amazing version of Nobody! Haha. There's this tv show called Challenge Mr. Mic...or something along that.... It's kind of like American Idol ish....but not really. Anyways, at the beginning the hosts (two guys and a girl) always sing and perform (usually horribly at both. It's embarrassing how bad they sing...). One time, they did Nobody! Nobody Nobody But You! However, it was in Chinese, and they changed the lyrics to go with show. Something about how you are singing to beat Mr. Mic. I wish I could find the lyrics. It was so funny! I kept on clapping along!
I feel like there's something else I wanted to say....but of course, I can't remember.
Hahahahaha....I just remembered! While walking home yesterday, I think I saw Boys over Flowers on DVD! Korean version of course! I actually just remember seeing HyunJoong's face for a split second. It was on one of those fake DVD cart things. I can't believe it was already out! Wasn't the last episode on...the 31st or something? Anyways, just thought I'd let you all know! 爸爸妈妈, Boys over Flowers is the Korean version of 流星花园. :) It's really really popular. In Korean, and even China! Kinala was even watching it!
Can't have a blog post without talking about food! (yes, I already mentioned food, but I want to talk a little more). I have gone back to my usual routine of two bao zi for breakfast, a vegetable one, and a black sesame one. Yum :) This morning, I also tried Black Sesame soy milk. Took a while getting used to. Gosh....there was something else about food I was going to say...but I've forgotten....:(
I hate my short term memory. 20 seconds ago there was something I wanted to write...and now I can't remember....I've thought about it many times.....!!!! Ah, I remember. I only have one more week left of my internship!!!! After next week, I will be have a month of free time to go travel (where to....I am not yet sure). :)
Okay, I think that's it for now. Will post more hopefully soon!

Cravings
In the past week, I have decided that I crave two foods. Mac n Cheese and Reeses. It seems likes Kraft Mac n Cheese is available here...but I have yet to find it. Apparenty my family knows so maybe they will buy some for me. :) As for Reeses, WHERE ARE YOU?! There must be some place in Shanghai that sells it. Snickers are huge here.....but no Reeses. Not even at the Hershey's store. It'
s starting to annoy me....I just want to enjoy a Reeses....Maybe some one can post me some!!! (by post I mean mail....)
s starting to annoy me....I just want to enjoy a Reeses....Maybe some one can post me some!!! (by post I mean mail....)Now that three months is almost over....I am missing everyone more than other. The person I miss the most? CODY!!! Wah....someone buy him a plane ticket and send him over....
So I was sick last week. Threw up....yuck. Didn't go to work for 2.5 days. Slept over at my grandparent's house. During one of those 0.5 days of work, Alanna and I stopped by the Shanghai Musuem. Thus, the picture to the left. When I rotated the picture....it kind of got messed up....it smushed my face...so I had to adjust it....hope it looks okay now....
Stupid stupid secretary....she just spent ages standing around my desk pretending to look through stuff, just so she could listen in on the meeting going on in the conference room (our boss who left for good is in there).
Can't be bothered to post much right now.

Hair Washing and Fan Girl Heaven
60 new pictures are now up on Facebook!!! I hope you like them :)
I am bored....Alanna is not at work today because she is sick.
Shanghai is so warm now. I can wear a jacket outside,...but once you get in the metro...it's horrible. It's way too warm...yucky
I always think of things I want to write on here...but I always forget them when I actually write...:(
I had McDonalds yesterday for lunch! I had a meal, so a sandwich, "chips", and a drink. It turns out the sandwich was spicy chicken though. Not just chicken. And then, we (Alanna and I) wanted sweet and sour sauce. And because I don't know that in Chinese, I just said sauce with green on top...haha. It turns out, you only get that with chicken nuggets (but the lady was nice to us). Chicken nuggets?! Why? What a stupid rule! Sweet and sour sauce definitely goes with french fries!!! During lunch, Alanna decided ice cream sounded good. So, we got ice cream!!! 2.50 RMB for mine. :) That's really cheap!
I've also been to Dunken (sp) Donuts! Did I tell you this already? One day, Alanna wanted to go to the fake market. So, we walked. But first, we went to Dunken Donuts. Buy 2, get one free! We each got three of course. Then, we started walking to the fake market. We got onto the topic of chicken nuggets. Alanna wants chicken nuggets. Sounds good to me. We walk by a McDonalds. She gets chicken nuggets, I get a 6RMB (~$1 menu) sandwich. yum yum yum. Off to the fake market. I went back to Dunken Donuts two days ago and bought 3 donuts for breakfast the next morning.
Did I talk about BonBon? I can't remember....It was fun. I got to watch everyone drink and dance. Oh, and the coke situation?! How can they not give out just plain coca-cola?!?!?! I think everyone enjoyed themselves! :) It turns out, the other volunteers went there the next night as well. I instead went to my grandparents' houses. I also watched my cousin (who I just learned canNOT lace her own shoes) and aunt wash their hair at a salon. Yes, they have to go out to wash it. They look at me like I'm crazy that I wash my own hair. Apparently having your hair washed at Yong Qi (the salon) is good because they massage your hair....they also massage your back and arms and pull on your fingers if you want. OH! And they clean your ears with a cotton swab!!!...or cotton swabS.... My aunt told me I had to do it next week....so yippy. I'm getting my hair washed on Saturday! She told me not to wash my own hair Saturday morning. I'm excited...I get to have someone wash my hair for an hour....hip hip hooray....they will also blow-dry my hair....which I hate....I like letting the nice outside air breeze drying my hair. Not some electronic machine....it's not good for my hair. :(
I'm also making wontons next week. Oh, and it's my grandpa's birthday so I'm buying him a cake! yay! Probably will get it from Christine's (there's soo many in China!). :) yummy
I feel like there is so much I could say....but I just don't what to say....
Oh yeah, I went to a basketball game on Sunday! Shanghai Sharks vs. some other team. We were down by 30 points, then almost caught up....The cheerleaders occasionally danced to High School musical and threw their poms poms up when the other team was shooting free throws. I might have also been on TV...haha. We assume or at least one second, the cameras must have shown our area....even if were like a 1 mm wide on tv....hahahahaha
! I found the most amazing Asian fangirl spot! There's this little store where you can by key chains, cups, fans, etc. with pictures of celebrities!!!! HAHAHAHA. You know you've seen them on TV before. Have a celebrity you want on your cell phone chain? Want a wallet size picture of that special boy band member? Tell me and I will look!!! Hahaha. It's like crazy fan girl heaven.
I'm going ice skating tonight! Should be fun! :)
Okay, so can't think of much else right now. My mind is a little blank.

Bag Alert!
Attention all people who continuously asked for a picture of my silver bag...a picture of it has been uploaded onto Facebook! Indirectly of course! Haha...just thought I'd let you all know...oh, and my new shirt that I bought the other day is in that photo as well...though, just the sleeve....
Okay, bye for now. Time to go back to the flat!
Pictures will be uploaded within the next few days!
*UPDATE* Apparently you all can't see the picture?.....maybe the other person in the picture has her pictures on private?

Bon....Bon!!!!!
Ah...finally a new post!!! So what has happened lately?
Last Saturday, I a took a train wot Suzhou with my grandma and two of her siblings, and we paid respects to my great grandparents. I will explain more on Facebook, when I upload pictures of it!!! It was an amazing experience.
I also found a big store of Semir!!! Three stories!!! Haha...
Sunday was Women's Day...which meant SALE!!! Though, not as big as I expected... Only 12% off. Nevertheless, I still bought two things. HAHAHA, and since my total was over a certain amount, I got FREE SLIPPERS!!! Look for them on Facebook next week!!!! They are so funny! hahahahaha.
Hm...if you don't already know, I am pretty much officially the receptionist at work. I'm also getting major bossed around by the secretary, who I've learned, EVERYONE at the office hates...except maybe the boss? (someone said he likes her). So, everyone ignores her.
Big news! I am going to a club/pub tonight!!!!! Oh yeah. BONBON (thus, the title of this post). Alanna, a friend of her, and the accounting department from work are going to dinner. Then, we might meet the auditing department for KTVing. Then, BONBON!. It's 100RMB for open bar! Though...for me...that's like 100RMB for unlimited Coca-cola? Though, I don't even drink Soda...so, what will I do? 100RMB to watch everyone else drink! Haha. It's so cute. The accounting department (Rainbow, Jessie D, and Amanda) are so excited! They came all dressed up today! (They want to look....sexy...and they keep on mentioning it!) And now, they (and Alanna) are putting on make-up!!! Cuteness (woah...did I just say that?!) Alanna just went to the bathroom to change...:)
What else about life? Ah, yes. Wendy and Alex. They are from the auditing department, and like the accounting department people, they are amazing!!! Ah, I can't describe it....they are just plain amazing! Haha.
I can't think of anything else big happening lately...I should have more to talk about after tonight...
Oh yeah, I remember! I'm extremely sad now that some people ignored my group webcam invitation....wah....:( *cry cry* Oh well, some other time then?
HAHA, ice cream!!! I finally had ice cream! You know those little cake things with swirls on the side? Gah...I can't remember what they're called....but, I know you all have seen them. SO GOOD! And really cheap!
Oohhh Alanna is returning all changed up! Very nice!
Haha. Amanda just danced for everyone in the office! Cute!
Okay, must go now. We are late for dinner!
Julia, sorry if this wasn't as amazing as I said it would be...:(

Last Saturday, I a took a train wot Suzhou with my grandma and two of her siblings, and we paid respects to my great grandparents. I will explain more on Facebook, when I upload pictures of it!!! It was an amazing experience.
I also found a big store of Semir!!! Three stories!!! Haha...
Sunday was Women's Day...which meant SALE!!! Though, not as big as I expected... Only 12% off. Nevertheless, I still bought two things. HAHAHA, and since my total was over a certain amount, I got FREE SLIPPERS!!! Look for them on Facebook next week!!!! They are so funny! hahahahaha.
Hm...if you don't already know, I am pretty much officially the receptionist at work. I'm also getting major bossed around by the secretary, who I've learned, EVERYONE at the office hates...except maybe the boss? (someone said he likes her). So, everyone ignores her.
Big news! I am going to a club/pub tonight!!!!! Oh yeah. BONBON (thus, the title of this post). Alanna, a friend of her, and the accounting department from work are going to dinner. Then, we might meet the auditing department for KTVing. Then, BONBON!. It's 100RMB for open bar! Though...for me...that's like 100RMB for unlimited Coca-cola? Though, I don't even drink Soda...so, what will I do? 100RMB to watch everyone else drink! Haha. It's so cute. The accounting department (Rainbow, Jessie D, and Amanda) are so excited! They came all dressed up today! (They want to look....sexy...and they keep on mentioning it!) And now, they (and Alanna) are putting on make-up!!! Cuteness (woah...did I just say that?!) Alanna just went to the bathroom to change...:)
What else about life? Ah, yes. Wendy and Alex. They are from the auditing department, and like the accounting department people, they are amazing!!! Ah, I can't describe it....they are just plain amazing! Haha.
I can't think of anything else big happening lately...I should have more to talk about after tonight...
Oh yeah, I remember! I'm extremely sad now that some people ignored my group webcam invitation....wah....:( *cry cry* Oh well, some other time then?
HAHA, ice cream!!! I finally had ice cream! You know those little cake things with swirls on the side? Gah...I can't remember what they're called....but, I know you all have seen them. SO GOOD! And really cheap!
Oohhh Alanna is returning all changed up! Very nice!

What's scarier than 1.3 billion people?
What's scarier than 1.3 billion people?....
....1.3 billion people with UMBRELLAS!!!
rain rain, lots of rain. My poor shoes...getting all wet...
What's happened so far? On Saturday, I went to the Fabric Market with Lizzie, Vicky, and Jack. Prom dress (or suit) anyone? Then, we went back to our flat to relax. Then, ZHONGSHAN PARK!!! Haha. It's about a 3 min walk from our flat. We had an amazing time. Jack and Lizzie went on the Pirate Ship (you know that ride that swings really high?). All four of us went bumper kart racing,...for three minutes. For most of the time, I was stuck...and when I wasn't stuck, I was going backwards (because I turned the wheel too much?). Oh well, FUN FUN FUN! After that, we walked to the metro, where we ate STINKY TOFU and this really weird, yellow roll thing. I thought it was like those nice roll cracker things you can get at 99...but it wasn't. It was very tastless? Oh well, we had fun. Dinner that day was Vegetarian. We ate with some new volunteers who were going to another city to teach. Haha, and before, I bought a new DVD! ! 10RMB...SUPER JUNIOR SUPER SHOW CONCERT!!! Muahahahaha.
Today, I am the receptionist at the office!!! Yep. Peggy, who is usually the receptionist, is sick. :( Hope she gets better soon! So, I get to sit here, open the door, and answer the phone. Fun...nerveracking a little. Plus, Jessie, the receptionist told me that Thomas (the supervisor/boss) might call me to test me...
Party at Alanna's tonight!
New flatmate came yesterday. His name is Ali and he is from Orange County, CA.
Update on Webcam! So I brought my webcam to work on Friday!!! (I ended up finding it in my flat...) So, during lunch, I got to talk to and see Julia and Wenhao!!! Haha. So much fun. Probably the best lunch ever since I got here.
Keep me posted!
*UPDATE* Apparently Peggy will be in the hospital for two months! Fell better! This means...I might be here at the receptionist desk a little longer...
