Like I said before, I'm really bad at blogging...
...so here's a recap of what I've done my second week here:
I've made a ton of new friends. I also have 29 new facebook friends from the past week. Impressive, I know. All of the exchange students have been hanging out because there's no one else on campus. I've also met some really cool local students. I've explored a lot of HK, and done a little shopping. It's been a blast.
Chinese New Year started Monday and lasted through yesterday. I went to a new year market Sunday night, which was kind of like a fair minus the rides. There were a lot of ridiculous things you could buy, including a huge inflatable iPhone. A few of the guys with us got in a very heated argument trying to haggle for "lucky boxers." It was hilarious. There was a lot of yelling involved.
Monday, I walked around Central with a bunch of people, and we took the world's longest set of escalators. Which I've done before, but it was still fun. That night, we went to the New Year Parade, which is apparently the happiest party in the world. The sign said so. The parade was pretty cool, but I couldn't see much because I was behind a lot of people.
Tuesday, two more kids from Tech got here, so all of the Tech kids and Anastassia's roommate hung out in Tsim Sha Tsui to watch the fireworks. We ended up eating at Shakey's Pizza. It was a lot fancier than the one in Auburn. Go figure. The fireworks were probably the coolest I've ever seen. They put the 4th of July to shame. There were fireworks shaped like fans, butterflies, and yin yangs. It was amazing.
Yesterday, I just hung out on campus. I finished up all of the episodes of Smallville that have already come out for this season, and I started reading The Host by Stephenie Meyer. It's good, but not as good as Twilight.
Today, I went to the grocery store because it's been closed for the new year. So I restocked on food, and ended up finding some goldfish crackers, which was really exciting. Tomorrow, I have orientation, which is not so exciting. I'm not really excited for the vacation to end lol.
I'll try to update more often! I miss you all!

I was thinking about you being there for the new year celebrations! Last Sunday Michael and I got some dim sum and I thought about you a lot then too because one very present cart item was the chicken feet. Have you tried them yet??? haha...
Oh hi Butter. I miss you.
Much agreed on The Host -- interesting, but not thrilling. It was okay.
Glad you're doing well!
mary - no, i haven't tried the chicken feet. they gross me out lol
kit - i miss you too butter!
katie - yeah, it was definitely interesting, but i can't see it getting made into a movie. how's your new house? i hope you're doing well!
Also, something i forgot to mention about the new years parade:
They played "Cotton-eyed Joe." That song has haunted me since the 9th grade. I wanted to shoot myself. If you were on dance team with me that year, i know you understand.
