Chillaxing

Now that the university has mostly emptied of both students and teachers, the atmosphere here on campus is much more laidback than it is during the school year. You may be wondering how I've been spending my free time. On any given day, you may find me...

1. Searching for the perfect shade of pink.


2. Introducing my friends to whiskey and coke. (A huge hit here, by the way.)


3. Partaking of Jinan delicacies such as the famous (and aptly named) "oil pancakes".


4. Perusing local markets in search of a bathing suit that is modest enough to wear in a conservative country like China, while also trying to avoid purchasing anything that my grandmother might be willing to wear (sorry Grand).


5. Finding spelling mistakes on billboards.


7. Spooning.

And tomorrow I'm hopping a 13 hour train ride headed for Hangzhou, supposedly one of the most beautiful cities in China. I'll let you know if it lives up to my lofty expectations...
