Nothing much to report on the China front. The last week or two have been boring, punctuated by brief happy home-cooked Italian meals by my friend Aurelio. Beers at home have replaced beers at bars, which can probably be equally attributed to both frugality and laziness. Someone finally shut off the moon cake faucet, so the family I'm tutoring for are now showering me with Macaroons and chocolate instead. It's like they're paying me to gain weight.
I was excited for fall in this city - every street is lined with giant leaf-laden trees. But to my disappointment it appears that when these trees change, their leaves simply turn a sickly green/yellow and drop defeated to the ground. No brilliant reds and oranges. I'm toying with a day trip out of the city. It would be my first in almost four months.
So! Tomorrow I turn the big two-five and to celebrate I think we're doing all-you-can-eat-and-drink sushi/saki/beer. Or something to that effect. Then off to the YACHT concert (a band from Portland! Holla!) Should be a good day, especially considering it's starting with Skype chats and mimosas. If any of you wish to partake, look me up around 8pm PST. Skype name: jessica.colwell
Side note: If any of you have Facebooked me in the last few months, I've pretty much lost the ability to interact through that site (GFW, GO DIE) but snubbed you aren't! Email me. It's archaic, but it works.
