Slow start today. Pattra and I are still trying to get video games to work, but it keeps telling us the servers are full, which I find hard to believe. I’m starting to think it’s the internet connection since that has been absolute crap this week. Got baozi with Pattra for breakfast. She went to take a nap because she wasn’t feeling great. I worked on studying Chinese and fixing up my computer. I was wayyyyy overdue for a defrag. My computer is running much better now thankfully. Around 2, Chelsea and her boyfriend got back from the great wall. I got lunch with Chelsea and then the 3 of us went to Nanluoguxiang, which is a super famous hutong in China. On the way there, we ran into a few of our CIEE teachers in the subway coming back from the Shanghai conference. Apparently they took my potato picture with them and now I’m super famous hahaha. They told me a lot of people at the conference were stopping to take a picture of my poster. Anyway, we went to Naluoguxiang…It was originally destroyed by the Europeans,b ut then rebuilt and became a famous tourist attraction. I didn’t get to spend as much time here as I would have liked. There were so many neat shops to see and food places and restaurants, bars and clubs. I definitely need to come back here to explore again. After a while, we searched for a place to eat dinner. The first few we stopped at had waiting lists. We finally stumbled upon this shady noodle place that had amazing cheap food. It was soooo good. I hope I can find it again in the future. We wandered around for a bit on the northern side of houhai, trying to find a subway station. Returned to Beida. I had homework to do and then went to bed. Forgot I had an interview to perform, so I was scrambling trying to find people on QQ to interview. Thankfully I was able to find 2 people to help me. I’m exhausted, so it’s time for bed.
