Getting things FIXED. China style.

My high quality chinese bag surprisingly fell apart, so I had no choice but to take it to get fixed. Luckily, China is filled with all kinds of legit repair shops, as you can see.

All kinds of high-end services are available, such as using a toothbrush to apply a strange liquid to your shoes.

And a closeup of that high-tech, hand-crank sewing machine:

SNOW IN BEIJING!

brb snowball fight.

How do you park in China?

like this. obviously.

All the world's a closet

More cold = more layers = more laundry... but no dryer.

So obviously, the best solution is a clothesline across the room~~~

I think it adds to the atmosphere.

Pizza Hut: China Style

What do you do when you're in China after you've eaten Chinese food for 3 weeks straight? Go to Pizza Hut, obviously. It's exactly like Pizza Hut in America, aside from pretty much everything.

Because there's nothing like Pizza Hut rice...

And there's nothing like eating pizza with a fork and knife. It's just more classy that way.

The inside looks just like it does in America!~

Overall, I'd say it was a trustworthy fashionable experience.

中关村 ZhongGuanCun iPhone adventures

So I got my iPhone from America!!!!!!!!! And it's fabulous! Except for the fact that it doesn't work over here in China. Basically, it needs to be jailbroken. So naturally, we went to the authorized reseller.

Where you can find all kinds of legit and authorized apple products, such as this device that will turn your iTouch into an iPhone 4!

With all kinds of legit procedures, such as punching your simcard into a micro simcard using that stapler-looking contraption on the right. Fo free!

Basically what I'm trying to say is that I want you to add me on words with friends. Pinkielila

Happy Singles Day! Pt. 2

So what's the best way to celebrate Single's Day? Help your friends throw a party, of course! Two Japanese friends ran up to me the day before and asked me to help them with a party they were having. Basically it was a matchmaking party, which is always cute. For the first part, we stood outside in the freezing cold and held signs and told people to come join our party. Taking advice from a pink/purple-haired girl holding a heart-shaped cardboard sign is always legit.

The end result being it was a fun and successful party. I'm not sure if we made any successful matches or not, but I'm sure we'll find out sooner or later.
