testing. testing. 1 2 3 4.
hey all, i'm back again but a little further east this time.
i left on a saturday evening, around 1am on Cathay Pacific headed towards Shanghai. I amused myself on the 14 hour plane ride by sleeping. And watching some pretty bad movies and tv. And playing a little video chess, wow I am no Bobby Fischer that's for sure.
After a short stop over in Hong Kong, I took Dragonair (how cultural) over to Shanghai where I finally left customs after standing in line for 2 hours. I thought my parents would be there to greet me with huge smiles. No, that was not the case. Instead I was greeted with a crowd of Chinese people I have never seen in my life. Nor could I understand them since they were speaking in Mandarin. I wandered around for awhile wondering where the hell my parents were. How the hell was I going to find them?? I didn't know where the hotel we were staying in, I didn't even know the name of it. Finally, I was convinced they just didn't see me because they're old and thus, a little slow (ha ha, kidding!). I went back to look for them in the crowd and there they were, my mom was particularly easy to spot with her deeply knitted eyebrows obviously scanning the crowd for my appearance. I freaked her out when I tapped her on the shoulder but then she recovered quickly and of course, had to yell (literally) over to my Dad who was probably like 5 feet away. Oh, parents.
Anyway, I have to continue this little Shanghai trip later, people are giving me the evil eye so they can use the computers. Free internet can be a bitch! i feel like I'm back in the hostels. Ha ha, I wish. No, not really because this hotel is the fucking shit!
Ok, I have to go to bed because as you can see, I am rambling. Ha ha!
