i locked myself out of my own room today and my hands are so dry they're cracking! help i really need hand cream now..
furniture shopping has never been so fruitful, although we had to brave through the drizzle and chilly air to find the place, which wasn't exactly directly next to the subway station. looking forward to seeing all the furniture being delivered, especially the pretty purple puffy sofa. from the standard of the toilets, i guess that place is definitely not for tourists. well, you're wrong if you think olympics has brought an end to the 'traditional' china toilets. we saw it and used it yesterday. it wasn't the worst i've ever seen but definitely the worst so far on this trip. there were cubicles, just no doors, and there were people happily doing their business and even reading at the same time!! now i know how they train their leg muscles haha.
and we've come to realise that everything is 10 minutes away according to the locals. the answer we get when asking for directions is always "前面拐个弯儿，走十分钟就到了。" either they walk super fast, or their watches move super slow, their 10 min is at least half an hour la!
temperature's dropping fast and everyone's falling sick!! shoo germs shoo!
