Another week in Shanghai has ended! Everything this week was pretty normal…I think! Jason started playing in a community jazz band and had a rehearsal for that on Tuesday night! I stayed in and researched info about our trip to Thailand! On Wednesday we had Taco night! It was yummy! I was able to find all the ingredients (a little expensive) but it was delicious! I even splurged on some Tostitos Hint of Lime Chips! YUM! I even made homemade salsa! It felt great to cook again! And the tacos were delicious! On Thursday night, Jason had back to school night for the high school, so I decided to go out for some drinks with my co-worker Sean and his bride to be Tiffany! We went to the Shanghai Brewery! They have a decent happy hour, delicious nachos and yummy thin crust pizza! It was a fun night out! Continue reading

Angela here and sorry I’ve been MIA! Not much new happening here but things are going great! I’ve been waking up very early to go swimming at school. It’s nice to drag myself out of bed and jump, bike to school, and jump in cold water….no really it’s fun! Tonight Jason and I are meeting up with a friend of his from high school! It’s crazy how small the world is. This week, I told myself I’d be better about cooking at home which turns out has been a failure! Monday and Wednesday we had plans! Tuesday we had leftovers—Wait I ate the leftovers, Jason had PB&J! That leaves me tomorrow. It’s so different cooking here. Going to the grocery store is a chore and then after all that work you have to cook….but thankfully I can have my groceries delivered! That’s right! I haven’t gotten to that point yet but I’m thinking it will be worth it!
Below are a few pictures from my phone! China win: having convenient Gum packets! China fail: Said gum comes in a green package (I think mint) turns out it’s flower-ish! Oh well!
