Back to back!

Things to know about China:

1. Its every man, car and rickshaw for itself on the road, a red light means nothing!
2. Although Google just moved to Hong Kong they still have advertising all over the subways.
3. You need to be able to throw some bows to get around. So if Megan O'Donnell was here, her new hott cast would be an asset (ps if you see here give her some love, it takes true skill to break your elbow!).
4. Korean Pop music is a new light in my life, check out Super Junior or the Wonder Girls
5. Shanghai gets to decide city holidays on a whim, hmm the expo seems nice lets have a 5 day holiday (oK i know i already told you about this but its just too great to only talk about once).
6. This one needs a little bit of a story so bare with me: ok when i was younger my parents so conveniently exploited the fact that they had 3 cute little girls (yes, yes just check out the baby pictures, the matching bows really helped up this factor) to get to cut in lines and not have any one cause a fuss. Well here in China it's sort of similar but its the whole "group of westerner" thing. On the subway when were supposed to use the x-ray machines we can just walk on by, if we disobey traffic laws, no big deal. Now there are disadvantages without a doubt, when shopping we have no chance of getting the "chinese price", well unless they mistake my Korean friend for Chinese :-).
7. 2 words, boy band-ers: give me fluffed, orange mullets, tight leather pants, swanky shoes and a posse
8. Your english will get significantly worse. I mean i know my grammar and spelling are slightly embarrassing usually (thanks Rachel for proof reading my life!) but here its a joke.
9. They have beautiful things called night markets. ok i know your thinking wow aryn real original, but just stop right there! There is something truly beautiful about getting a giant egg pancake for less than 50 cents and a container of fresh fried rice for $1.
10. Milk tea. They have stands everywhere and its less than $2 and delicious!
11. Green tea flavored everything... Pockies, Oreos, ice cream etc.

Two blog posts in 24 hours pretty cool right, im just gonna put it out there that i may or may not have a test tomorrow!
