So rather than hang out with international students in an international dorm, I decided instead to hang out with Chinese people. Specifically, David's cousins, in-laws and friend of in-laws. KTV places here are HUGE. And crazy ass. Like hotels dedicated to the fun and very Asian activity that is karaoke. My voice feels hoarse. Whee! Next, work on befriending students that are in the same program. Damn. It sounds super hard...
Oh, and in the last... 8 hours I went from having 3 roommates to having 1, whom I have yet to meet and can only see the back of her head because she is already asleep. I still want the bigger room, though. But yay, the rooms are finally opening up! And lucky roommates for being even more persistent than me (I thought I was nagging the front desk).
Technically she's actually a friend of my cousin, not in-laws.
ReplyDeleteBut anyway.. nice work securing that two person room.
Good luck with your adventures in China! And remember to make some good friends.. you'll soon learn that "guanxi" is crucial to getting anything done in China.
