I had the most delicous meal tonight it was a japanese restaraunt....we got to huge plates of fried rice two large mango juices, soybeans, soup, chicken meat ball things, and fried chicken peices for 126 rmb which turns out to be less than 25 dollars total yeah....


This morning on my way to work I was trying to count the amount of times I got up and down stairs between the two different lines of the metro....it is crazy how many stairs there are....and how much walking I must do to get to work.  Work takes and hour to get to....15 min walk to the subway....then all the walking through out hte subway....and then another 15 min walk to work once I get off the subway on line nine....so tiring but lots of exercise.

I am getting more and more ready to move to Nanjing as my hotel starts smelling more and more like sewage....Sometimes it is the drains in the bathroom sometimes it is the air vents but what ever it is it is smelly....

Besides going up in the really awesome tower that is shaped like a bottle opener and is like 470 m high I am not sure what else has happened.   People have moved out of the hotel into their apartments which makes me long for a freaking couch to sit on....sitting in their living rooms is almost an odd feeling after now being in the hotel for 3 and 1/2 weeks with 2 more to go.....until of course I move to nanjing where I will spend hopefully less than 3 weeks in a hotel there...


The city is still amazing...  The older people ending their nights dancing in the parks still continues to be my favorite site to see....It is just such a wonderful way to wind down the day...they look so peaceful and happy dancing away...they have an area outside the mall I work in that also has people dancing on weekend nights  it is just fun after a long day of work to walk out and see people just being together and having a good time. 

As for right now not to much else has happened....I am loving the market and the way you can bargin everything...it is the greatest thing and the most annoying thing all at once....

I am off to bed now Hope everyone is doing well!
