How could I forget, Charlie's angels is always on too!

This is funny because I've seen like 3900 ads for blue bloods, but not the actual show, in china.

You know what's cute? The fact that each day, I put on make up and do my hair. It all literally sweats off right as I walk out the hotel doors.

Television.

The shows they love in China and whose commercials I've memorized - NCIS: LA - Blue bloods - the blacklist - American ninja warrior Shows I watch: CNN(what is wrong with DJT??) the above shows plus some Korean soaps like "my weird father"

I didn’t go to the field trip today. It was up to 110 today and I couldn’t take another heat stroke day. I took a nap instead and it was amazing.

When it cooled down, I had to hit up Fashion Lady one last time and visit my dress lady. Found this pretty green one. She doesn't speak English and I don't speak Chinese. So, I point to the ones I like, and point at myself. She grabs me, feels me up and down, and decides if she has one in my size. LOL

My biggest fear is I’ve bought a few dresses and that I will only like them in China. Once I hit US soil, will I hate everything I’ve purchased? Who knows. All I know is I can only be THE BEST U!

We often joke that everything in China is “Best”’ everything. When we are less sweaty, we are at our “China Best.”

Those noodles were delicious, and hit me RIGHT when I got home. Praise Jesusa V I didn’t sick in the public squatty toilets.

A sweaty selfie with the kids then off to professor happy hour!

Nanjing Confucius Temple (Fuzimiao)

We went to a special garden/praying area. I can't remember the name, sorry. It was quite peaceful.

Nanjing City Wall: Brick makers signed their names to their bricks so you knew who to complain to when they broke. That’s me and the tour guides kiddo. She and I were melting. I’m guessing that’s what she was saying in Chinese.

Nanjing City Wall. One of thirteen that was built To protect the city. This one is the best preserved.

I'm so shocked I don't look more sweaty. Next post has your weather info for that day.

Back in Nanjing, historical tour after class. Prepare for deluge of historical photos.

Not sure if I posted this, but this video plays every time you turn on the tv at my Nanjing hotel. 😩😳😩😳😩😳😩

See ya later Hong Kong! When the flight attendant was explaining we were in an exit row, she was showing us the Chinese side. Hmmmm.

Hong Kong is so conservative. They blur out cleavage.

So, when I was leaving the restaurant, it was POURING rain. I took a cab and snuggled down at the hotel. Then I heard the worst thunder and rain of my life. I guess this is a category 3 storm???

My swollen feet at the end of that day. Walked around 10 miles 😩😩😩

After the Ritz, I wanted to continue the "treat yo self" day. I hit up another one from Patty's list Mott 32. And this place was a great experience. I got seated right away because it was just me. I ordered fizzy water and intended on getting a glass of wine too. THEN the liter of fizzy water came and decided that it was probably a $15 bottle of fizzy water and I would have enough to drink. It was actually $11 and damn it I drank it ALL and ended up peeing all night. Lol. The food. So I ordered some duck and abalone rolls and they were perfect. Great combo and flavors. I ordered XLB and again, like in Nanjing, the soup was sweet. Ugh, annoying but two of those cost less than my fizzy water so no bigs. I wanted to order duck but it has to be ordered the day before and you need 4-6 people. I missed my meat eating pals a lot that night. The best part of the meal was the dessert. It was a vanilla custard/pudding with lychee sorbet, vahrona chocolate, some graham crumbs, raspberries and tiny berry sorbet scoops. Whole meal cost me about $80 but since all other meals cost like $6-12, I felt good about my TYS meal. Ahhh I almost forgot!!! The ambiance. It was very cool inside. Looks like a 1930s Chinese speak easy. Jazzy music and low lighting.
