House Party

I had a party at my new apartment. this is sue sue (skyhorse sue sue). she is on the other end of the spectrum from me. i am disgusting and ogre-ish and she is cute and adorable like a little ewok.


looks like they always want you to cherish the lawns in china.

the color schemes in this place were pretty awesome

duck chin. at least thats wat it says on the menu. they are the duck heads/beaks. there is like no meat in these things


this parrots was speaking chinese

this was at the karaoke place. i wanted to steal it.
i have tried a couple kinds of tomato juice here and they are gross. this one is kind of ok. v8 is too expensive. there is nothing in the world like v8, but im sure the japanese have something superior up their sleeve.

This and That

rock taco flavored doritos because rock tacos are delish. so it turns out they are supposed to be be rock taco flavored as in rock and roll. should have named them rockin' taco or rock and roll taco or something. it's amazing the money that goes into things here without running it by an english speaker first.


this looks a lot like a stoli bottle


i was tickled pink to find this new addition to my bu lao hu family.

i also got this peking opera bottle opener.

i've been eating a lot of 7-11 food lately because its around the corner from my apt. I love that place. this is what a normal haul looks like. rice triangle seaweed things, water, and soybean/mungbean drinky drink.

i made this mooncake at my chinese class party mooncake party but you have to bake it in the oven and i didnt feel like doing that so i left it for some lucky guy on his bike seat.

there is this awesome cheap dumpling place on the opposite corner from my apt. they make these mini baozi things and it's 5 rmb for a tray of 10 of them (70 cents).

the bowls at the california noodle house feature "mr. lee" starring back at you for your whole meal.


had a drink at this new club which sucks.

these tiles are in the bathroom of my apartment. are they some kind of biblical story? anyone know?


view from my balcony


donut shop on the way to my chinese school

doing laundry is an experiment since i can't read this

took my 2 days to dry my clothes too because i didn't knwo what was going on.

chinese class mooncake making party

they sang songs, which is normal thing i guess.

and were handing out smoked spicy chicken necks like candy. in fact they were in the same bowls with all the candy. i tried one and when you open it up there is that same gelatinous ooze that cames ontop of a can of spam. yummy.
i was excited that theses asahi's were onlyl 15 rmb but it was too good to be true. they are brewed in china which is why they are so cheap which is why there is almost no carbonation and no glorious foam.

Drink and Party Time

so we had a big saturday night out. of course until the sun came up, complete with dimsum in the morning.


this is in front of the karaoke place. having in imported car wether it be a mini cooper or ferrari cost about double what it would cost to buy in the states so that means even if you see someone in a mini cooper it means they are ballin'. that said these aholes parked their sports cars on either side of the entrance of the karaoke spot. i geuss they look like a ferarri and a porche?

the food bar at karaoke. i saw a lot of people eating curry and stuff. i don't know why we didnt do that. we just drank a bottle of jonnie walker and sang until the sun came out.

i snapped a pic of these weirdos. just kidding i would love to hang out with them.

i don't know why there were 5 guys sweeping water. well besides that china always uses their indespensible people power.

so of course i had to be an a hole and have a hangover the next day. angel brought me to this place. lots of natural daylight. so this is the worst place to come for a hangover.

after i said lets take a stroll through the 3.3 shopping center because my head still hurts and theres no way i can go home and do work yet.

maybe i wasn't a grandma before. maybe i was just a 50 yr old woman before. now china has turned me into a 67 year old retired s security collectin' senior citizen. i like shopping for stuff like this and lamps and shopping in general.

i hope this jerks big frong teeth are super sensitive to cold so when he bites into their product it hurts him. jerk

how amazing is this imperial emperors robe? it's so beautiful i want to cry. look at those waves on the bottom! and it is confirmed that the yellow and these color were reserved for imperial stuff.
