What a wonderful day!

It's 11 o'clock and I've been up for two hour already, the same cannot be said about my friends. Yesterday was Friday and just like in the song we went out to have fun. The day, however, started as usual - at school. School was boring, I was unfocused and tired, so when the bell rang (yes, the bell rings when we start, when we have breaks and when the day ends), I was really happy.

Kai, Jana and I decided to go to Hooters, but it took forever so first ended up eating at school, before we went to Sanlitun (Jana disappeared somehow on the way and we got Edward and Paul instead). While we where in Sanlitun we also decided to vote (yay, I voted!) and buy an iPhone. Yes, I have an iPhone. Yes, I don't like smart phones and yes, I still have an iPhone. When I walked out of Apple store, we were ambushed by some crazy people, so the security guard ended up scarying them away.

Picture time

Here are some pictures from the last week in China. Enjoy!

They have pizzas AND Read Headed Sluts shots! Other than that it's a bit over prized. But I have to try the shot!

Leg waxing update

The last week I've been so busy watching the news, reading news papers, talking with people back home and preparing for tests I've completly forgotten to update my blog. However, because of what happened back home, I have had no new adventures exept for yesterday when I decidet to wax my legs.

Leg waxing in China is not leg waxing in Norway; the first place I went to they insisted on me paying per leg. The second place I went to first refuced to wax my legs because they didn't see any hair. Hello, I had forrest legs! Hairy monsters! After making them touch them (and they realized I had blonde and not black hair on my legs) they agreed waxing them. To put it this way - I'm not comming back. It was painful, not because I was waxing my legs, but because they didn't know how to do it. They used old magazines as strips (which ripped), they pulled the strips slowly and the lady tought a young girl to do it before she left the room. Yay. The front of my legs ended in the end up being poorly waxed, the back of my legs was completly forgotten. I have small bruises where they pulled the strips slowly.

Thank you

I would like to thank my friends in Germany, Holland, Australia, Canada, USA, Scotland for their concern. I'm alright, family is alright, my friends are alright. Thank you.

CCTV rocks!

Stuff I've learned in China so far by watching CCTV news (English edition):
- Tibet was liberated 60 years ago by China and because of that China rocks. The main theme is what would Tibet be today without China (nothing) and get testemonies by leading Tibetians saying that China rocks. I totally agree - China rocks!
- The Tibetian antilope is very important. Well, they have sent a TV-crew to follow them from the breeding spot back to the grasslands. Poor antilopees; they have to cross a road (when it's most busy it has three cars per minute) and a rail way. Oh noes. However, it's more antilopes today than earlier due to good breeding seasons. Than again - poor antilope!

Just an other day

Yesterday was just another day at school - learned a lot of new stuff, had a test (9,5 out of 10) and went home. However, yesterday afternoot the whole class went to a Peking Opera show. We dressed up (I told Edward what to wear and he told me what to wear). 

69, what is that?

Today I've been to the wall. It was steep, my knees hurt, we haggled (you gotta love my panda hat) and took the togoban (or whatever down). Not really much to talk about. We had lunch afterwards, I didn't like it. But the funny part of the day was when the guide came in the back of the bus on our way back home. He had all kinds of questions and he ended up asking our bisexual guy how gay people have sex. The guide didn't believe us AT ALL! But we only told the truth. Then we told him all about different sex positions. You should have seen his face. Hilarious! Now we have his phone number and we're going to take him out on drinks at Lush on friday.

Port of Dandong

Hey! (it's 30 something degrees outside, slightly smoggy and way too busy)

I finally have a day of here in China and I feel crap (too many mohitos yesterday). I know it has been a while since the last time I've blogged and I'm sorry about that!

There has been so much to do and so much has been done. We have looked for an apartment, found a beautiful apartment and every thing was perfectly fine - untill the day we were going to move in. The floor was damaged by water, the sink broken and the shower didn't work properly. Gotta love it. They're fixing the floor right now, the aircon-man was here yesterday (probably the fifth time in two weeks) and tried to get the big aircon cold.

Quote of the day

"Don't be big the mouth when children is eating, so as not to choke. Thank you!"

I am loved... by the moscitos!

Over the last three days I have got over 50 moscito bites on my feet and legs. It itches so bad. I'm planning to cut of my legs if I don't find anything that helps. Kill me! Argh!

Life in Beijing so far

Hey! Long time, no see! i have had some problems with my VPN, but it will probably be fixed when I move in in my new apartment. Yes, I have found an apartment and I'm moving in with Edward and Paul ( I get the room with a bathroom, the guys have to share). It's a nice, three bedroom apartment in building 16 (and we think also live on the 16th floor). It has not, I repeat, it has not a Norwegian standard, but it could have been much worse.
