My travel sized toothpaste from the flight over has finally run out so I ran to Tesco the other day for a new tube. Being a loyal Crest Kid 4Lyfe, I found myself facing a decision I never anticipated:
Diamonds, Pearls, Crystals, or Ice?? My first instinct was obviously Diamonds and I went with it.
Here's a little visual treat I stumbled by in the metro the other day:
"TIME IS (animal) LOVE"
Also I must acknowledge and thank my good friend Jessica for a warning she sent me two weeks ago that went something like this: "Don't go on any Chinese carnival rides or anything because I was watching this one show and you could get decapitated or something."
Last Friday I was reading the Shanghai Daily and came an article about the "soft opening" of the new Happy Valley theme park in Shanghai. Here are some of the terrifying highlights:
Some people were stuck by the park’s star free-fall ride midair for minutes. Technicians later found out the short-circuit was caused by a metal pen cap dropped from a visitor’s pocket.
Countless small accidents, hours of waiting, bad food and poor facilities sparked outrage among thousands of visitors, many of whom had waited for hours in the rain before the gate opened.
A sign board fell on three visitors’ head, but the park’s first aid centre has not been completed yet.
The park’s doctor ran from one spot to another to treat the injured.
Last week I had a couch surfer staying with me from Brazil. He desperately wanted to try jellyfish (or at least the craziest seafood we could find) so we went to a local fish market where you pick out all the seafood you want (live) then walk around the corner to a restaurant where they cook it for you. Unfortunately jellyfish is simply not in season. We decided on some other creatures, and I was a bit apprehensive considering these were the options:
Result? DELICIOUS. Except the worm things, because there really isn't much to them once they're cooked.
