Not really.
Woke up normally. Went to class normally. Class was alright, I think. During break, Zack pointed out this funny bread.
After class, Jessica and I decided to go to TrustMart because we really need conditioner and we also need stuff for our trip. So we took a rickshaw to East Gate, and got stuff for our trip. I'm excited. So many panda wipes and travel-sized things lol.
WE ALSO STOPPED BY CAFFE BENE because Jessica wanted to get waffles and gelato, and I've wanted to go for a long time now. Sadly, the gelato and waffles were tiny and very expensive, but we got drinks (called frappenos) instead.
Love the decorations. Very charming!!!
After that, we headed back to the dorms and chilled out because it was so fucking hot outside. We had plans to go visit some sex shops because why not, so we set off to do that. We'll buy our train tickets to Chongqing later since we heard that we can only buy 11 days in advance.
Went to three sex shops; all were mediocre. The stores seemed geared towards women, which I guess I can appreciate. There was some kinky stuff but in general I thought it was all pretty tame/normal. The third one was funny though because it was a lounge that had an upstairs. People were scared to go in because it looked like an actual sex shop (like, a place you pay to have sex) but I went in with Josh and Francisco and went upstairs; it was just a hot (and weird-smelling) room with other sex toys. Kind of boring. We left.
We went to a stationary store after that, which we thought would have more anime paraphernalia but it didn't. I got a black notebook and tons of metallic pens, though, so I'm really fucking excited for that. I drew a bit after we got back. I need to practice inverting :((((
THEN we went to Laogeming, which I have been wanting to go to for so long.
It was awesome. Pretty good food, awesome decorations, decent service (in Chinese standards), GOOD MUSIC LOL (old Communist music) and etcetc. It was really fun. Eating the food was a bit of a struggle because there ALWAYS ends up being nothing in the clear broth and TONS of food in the red broth. I wish that hotpot here could be all clear broth, but whatever.
We came back and talked with Rachel, had a party in our room (basically. this always ends up happening) and then speed-did our homework and now sleep.
Hopefully no fire diarrheas tomorrow.
