... and some noodles. It is just strange. There are entire isles of bagged meat. And entire isles of noodles. At home we have the Hispanic food section, Asian section, bread section, dairy section, wonderful frozen food section. Here, it is just an extended, giant version of the Asian section. And I don’t understand any of the food labels.

Eating out has also been an adventure. All of the menus have ...

In His holy will forever to rest."
But the evil spirit could not see this and remain contented. Hehas more cleverness than ten thousand men, and he found means tocompass his end. He betook himself to the marsh, and collected a fewlittle bubbles of stagnant water. Then he uttered over them the echoesof lying words that they might become strong. He mixed up togethersongs of praise with lying epitaphs, as many as he could find,boiled them in tears shed by envy ...

... cab and got a bit turned around trying to cross various streets near the square... oh and you can't go onto the square at night... it's closed... When we finally walked to our hotel and got up to the room...Mary's key didn't work... So she went back and got another key.... which also didn't work... so they sent up a mechanic... and he said her door's automated key card thing was "out of batteries"... It was a comedy of errors. We finally left ...

... i små stykker, da vi kun har to sæt knive og gafler og derfor måtte spise med pinde. Jeg havde også købt en masse kage (som jeg spiste selv, da de andre var mætte). Alt for meget mad og træthed efter endnu en hård uge resulterede i en for en gangs skyld rimelig fredagssengetid. Derfor kom vi også op i ordentlig tid lørdag. Jeg fik lokket Anthony med i 798. Han er ikke helt så kulturel som mig, men da der for tiden er en fantastisk Dior-udstilling, var han ikke svær ...

... they do it to "discourage foreign interference," but it also reduces the chance religious people will question either the government or the side-effects of the catapulting economy. Chinese leaders employ harsh measures because they recognize religious people often end up resisting the state (like Jesus, Gandhi, Martin Luther King and, of course, Tibetan monks like the Dalai Lama.) Despite their relative lack of freedom, however, religious groups have been slowly expanding ...

... also a manager there. They're both incredibly attractive and very wealthy. I lifted for a while and then swam with Melissa and Rachel for a couple hours. Rachel lived in Switzerland for five years for college and an internship. She talked about how much better it is to live in China because there are "more opportunities." Beautiful and wealthy, she's in a good position to say something like that but with all us foreigners flocking to learn Chinese ...

... and showed us this art work they were selling. Of course they ended up making us pay for some art work, but I liked what they did. Train seats! We actually sat down in the train!! Unbelievable right? Once we got off the train, we got a little lost and had to ask for help. We finally were taking our shoes off and chatting to nanna Joan and dad on the internet. A quick swim and run for me, finished off our day. School's tomorrow. I'm nervous, but excited!!

... Shoreline, Washington who live, we calculated, something less than 10 miles from me. When they arrived at the hotel, they were all thoroughly jetlagged, so dinner was at a restaurant a short walk away. Another advantage of travelling with a group (at least in China, where people share dishes) came at mealtime: because we shared seven or eight dishes at every meal, we all got to try more different dishes in one meal than any of us could try in a week's worth of ...

... Any Mamma Mia fans out there that I don't know about? The show is running at the Shanghai Grand Theatre. I'll have to see if I have AbbA on the ipod and give it a listen if I do. I'm thinking I uploaded it. Seeing the signs for the show made me laugh right out loud and recall our evening in Springfield with part of the gang. Time to clean up again and get packed. I need to be outta the room in about an hour ...

... Het is een 2 kamer appartementje met een keuken/badkamertje/ woonkamer en een ruime slaapkamer (met airco!). De ligging is enigszins achteraf, maar dat maakt het wel leuk, veel contact met de Chinezen. We spreken met Bruce af dat hij ons morgenvroeg komt halen voor onze eerste werkdag op het kantoor, we zullen dan ook een simkaart kopen en een tweede fiets regelen, waarmee we naar het bedrijf kunnen peddelen. Rob en ik besluiten om onze koffers uit te pakken. We komen nog ...
