You're more lost than us?

Well today was my day off! WOOO! So I got to sleep in, do some skyping, some calling. I'm very popular. haha Couldn't sleep in even if I wanted to because they are doing construction in the residences, and I'm pretty sure they know what room I'm in and work on there until I move to another room, then they work in the other room #outtogetme 


That's when the adventures began.. I went to the grocery store, CarreFour, by MYSELF!!! Welp, I had a list of things I needed.. Needless to say, I didn't get many of them haha I was so flustered and was just walking around aimlessly for awhile #ClassicForeigner I just wanted normal lunch stuff, but didn't get like any of it #whoops I bought a green pepper? I don't know. I think I bought the Ramen noodle of China. Like what? I was delirious in there (kinda like when my mom goes shopping haha love you Mom :) ) Oh and then when I was leaving, I went down the wrong stairs and had to go right back up them and go out the right entrance haha And here you have to by the shopping bags, so I brought one we used the last time, being prepared.. Then I go like 5 feet and the bag rips a bit, so then I walked the whole way back clutching my groceries in a ripped bag for dear life, but hey I made it back in time!


Then I napped #SOADVENTUROUS


When Ann got back from work she woke me up so we could go work out!! (#GTL more so just G because the washer/dryer combo machines they use here SUCKKKK) We start walking to the gym, and we go about 5 minutes and then we see some white people looking very lost with their heads in their China book trying to communicate with the locals, that's where we met Yohan and his son, Alex. We went up and asked if they needed help, they were very happy to meet some people who spoke English and who might be able to help them out. They had no idea what they were in for haha Well Alex is from London, and his dad, Yohan (yes, Yohan), is from.. London? We don't really know because he had such a unique accent, maybe it's because he has been to 69 countries. Literally 69 countries. #envious So Yohan says he's trying to get to New Mart Mall, and Ann calls Richard to try to get some directions to help them. Turns out these guys are in China for however long, they're just traveling to travel, they might go visit their brother/son in Australia after #RoughLife So Ann finally gets directions, and she kinda thinks she might know the way, so we offer to walk them there because they didn't want to take a taxi so they could explore, and boy we did explore. We walked in a circle at least five times, BUT we made it to New Mart Mall!!!!! After an hour and a half #DoraTheExplorerStatus We basically got to know everything about them, Yohan is a speciality professor and basically helps people find out who they really are haha and his son is just along for the ride! They were very interesting people. Yohan gave us their number since they'd be here for a couple of days.. Ann typed it in wrong haha But if it's fate they'll make their way to Shangri-La! Yohan calls it fate that we me them today.. He would say that haha He's awesome! We didn't end up working out after because we told Heather and Sarah we'd eat at like 5:30, we didn't get back until then and then we got ready, and ate. A ton. They amount of desserts they put out at dinner is just unfair, so we finally had a ton today! I had butterscotch ice cream and it was delicious.


After dinner, we hung out, went on whatshouldwecallme.tumblr.com (hilarious for college students), watched Once Upon a Time, and then I got a phone call saying I work A shift, so I have to be in at 6:50 AM.. That's quite early. #tooearlytohandle


Blog ya later!


Oh and this is just funny:
