my skin does not like mangos
Mangos? Or mangoes?
Either way, I ate a deliciously juicy one last night, and got it all over my face. Then I woke up with a rash all over my face, too. I went the BMW way to a Carrefour supermarket, hoping to find petroleum jelly or aquaphor (since I didn't seem to bring any... curses!) but only found beauty products. Then I went into a little store that had some creamy and more watery version of Vaseline, which I was a little leery of, and was sent to a pharmacy to buy myself some 息斯敏 (allergy medicine) by a pharmacy lady who also told me "Never eat mangoes!" (This was a piece of advice repeated by the woman who sold me the 息斯敏.)
On my way home, I remembered a funny story.
Emily asked one of her students to send me the address of a gym that's nearby the apartment she lives in/I will be living in, so I can start trying to stay healthy and fit after I move in. The student, Meteor, messaged me and told me where it was.
I replied with something along the lines of, "Thanks for the info, but I probably won't check it out until sometime late next week." I was thinking, you know, after I settle into work some more and also actually move into the apartment.
Meteor replied with, "LOL."
I was a little confused and asked Emily, and she laughed and said Meteor was probably thought it was the stereotypical Chengdu laziness that kept me from visiting sooner.
