I had two pretty eventful days this weekend, so at some point I'll hopefully have some nice detailed exploring posts with a few pics (nothing very good though, bc it was hazy and bad light :-(. But I wanted to write now because I just made a friend almost entirely in Chinese!!!! Woot! As far as I can tell he's a computer student who came over to fix the family machine (which was made before he was born. Not actually). We talked about where I was from, and what sports we liked--both do badminton and pingpang qiu (not actually much of a surprise here), and what we studied, and how long I would be here, and other stuff too, and I only used the dictionary a little and he almost never switched to English and didn't get frustrated by having to repeat things too many times. Very cool.
Also tonight I got an entire hard-boiled egg in hidden in a mooncake. Ooof--wasn't expecting that. Plus, on mooncakes, check out this week's
Economist . I didn't see the coupons, but the packaging definitely gets crazy, and boxes of maybe six pastries would go for hundreds of yuan.
Cool.
