你们好！Hello again, thank you for your comments, I'm so happy people are reading my blog ( well at least 3) haha. Just to let you know, I can't use facebook, so don't expect any posts or comments from me on there :( I can only communicate with this blog, webmail, and skype, but that's enough right? Why can I not post pictures right now?? So annoying. I want to post pics of some of the expo sites! Ok, that will just have to come later then.
Let's see, well, I went out two nights ago. To a Chinese Club in downtown Shanghai. It was insane. I.can.not.even.explain.it There were several times I had to pinch myself and say, am I really here? Is this happening?? Let me try to explain it, first of all ridiculous glittering magnificence everywhere, from the glowing bar counter top, to the sparkling chandaliers, to the bubbling jacuzzi in the club, and of course tens of fabulous looking chinese girls in their full get up and Chinese men in their suits looking super dapper. And did I mention these Chinese men really love american women? I'm not trying to be conceited, it's just really true. Probably because we're novel, it's just the same with American girls and Australian men, right? Anyways, they invited us back to the VIP lounge where we drank green tea with whiskey and did shots, and talked about international travel, and each other's businesses and thoughts on the economy ( which for me, despite my major, are very little). And then, leaving the club at 4 am with our group of 10, grabbing a taxi and driving through the city, ablaze with lights as far as I could see, and leaning up against the window, my head still pulsating from the techno music, and my body warm from shots of unnamed fiery liquids ( sorry Mom). Well, I just felt so damn cool.
A few quick things: I got assigned working in the VIP lounge at the US pavilion which is awesome because I'll be dealing with celebrities, dignitaries, other ambassadors, and all around pretty important people. I might even get to meet Michelle Obama! Secondly, Kong Pao Chicken is my new favorite dish ( the peanuts are delicious) and lastly, I miss my friends so much :( and I wish you were all here to experience this with me, ( Michael what's your email address so I can write you!?). On that note, 再见！

You get to meet the celebrities!!! You're like the coolest of the cool. Jealous. Some of the expo sites look ugly, are they prettier inside? My favorite was the Brazilian one. Have you already found your chinese lover at one of the clubs? If so, be sure to e-mail me about it.
ReplyDeleteSorry Mom.
ReplyDeleteHeather!! I can't believe I'm sitting in my apartment here in Clemson, and you're in CHINA! It sounds incredible so far! Are those pictures of different pavilions? I hope you're having a blast right now (it's almost midnight here, what time is it there?) and I can't wait to hear more stories from your trip!
ReplyDeleteThat sounds like so much fun being in the VIP lounge! So, will you still be giving tours or what exactly will you be doing?
ReplyDeleteHey I sent you an email but just in case that didn't work for some reason its mlacour. Those pictures are pretty breathtaking, btw. It's amazing how elaborate those buildings are compared to what we see around here. Although the high-rises ARE pretty spectacular...
