I come home in 4 days and I'm booorrrreeed. I'm flying out to Shanghai on Monday and then flying home on Tues.

I bought all the seasons of Sex and the City here bootleg but I can't watch them because Grandma and Grandpa are always around.

Tomorrow I go over to my other grandparents' place and will have to play with the child. But her mother will actually be around this time so hopefully the child will behave. Did you know that when you give birth they snip your vagina? Since it's likely to tear anyway the doctor will snip it first so that it's easier to sew back together when you're done. I do not want my vagina snipped.

Time here in China revolves around the 3 meals. I mean, back home I go out, hang out with people, and eat pretty much whenever. But here.. no no. Here I am forced to eat 3 meals when I normally skip breakfast. Lunch is promptly at 11:30 and dinner at 5:30. Every meal comes with a soup. Every meal comes with a information session on the health benefits of each dish ("Eat some more ___. It does this, this, and this for your body.").
