Blue Orange Green Pink Purple

Week four - we've had some sun sun sun.

I feel quite settled in Shanghai now. I know where to get nice food, how to get around, what's overpriced etc which is an amazing feeling. I'm like a real Shanghai expat now!
The downside is I'm beginning to feel a bit outside the Thame loop now though which is quite sad but I guess I'm in the China loop so its OK :)

This weekend I've not done too much cultural stuff really. I went out into Shanghai on Friday night which was very fun. Then on Saturday we went out for lunch and looked for the HSBC tower for Alex. That was actually a very nice trip because we saw the Jin Mao and the other-one-which-looks-like-a-bottle-opener tower close up. You definatly don't get an idea of how big it is until you stand near it. Then another trip to the fake market. We seem to be getting better prices now because we know what's a good price and a bad price. It's rediculously good if you like Abercrombie...
I haven't bought anything from there yet Because I'm really boring/poor. Well not since my watch.
They do sell glasses there though... It is tempting! They even have a machine like optitions to see what lenses you need. It's so easy to buy things haha.

I'll tell you about my thursday adventure tommorow I think.

    Aw Ben, you shouldn't feel sad about being out of the Thame loop. It's just like being a uni. Atleast you're somewhere really exciting, unlike Bournemouth ha ha.
    Glad you're enjoying yourself x
    P.S. The school looks like a prison, argh!

我去中國

    When I said China, did you say itinerary? Thought so.
    So the plan, the massive plan is as follows:
    I'm flying out on Friday the 13th of February, quite an omen if you ask me, and I arrive 19 hours later after a 11 hour flight in Shanghai Pu dong airport on valentines day.
    I get met by Jessie, who I imagine will become essentially my Chinese deity, keeping me safe from harm and the like.

    But then what happens?
    I'm teaching in a school didn't you know. Until like the end of June. Then I'm gonna travel around a bit, go to japan stuff like that...
