Moved In
Well I have finally moved into my residence, and it isn't so bad. Well that is besides it is a fifth floor walkup, and my leaky shower. I have been spending my days exploring Shanghai with my two new friends from Sweden, Henrik and Chris. It is amazing the strange looks we always get, we haven't figured it out yet as there are about 300,000 expats in this city. am learning to barter, as most prices are artificially inflated. I have heard if you pay more than one third of their original price you are being taken for. I have ridden the subway here in Shanghai probably more than I have ridden the C-Train in Calgary in my entire life. Maybe I will be more open to it when I get back home. I am learning to eat with chopsticks better, and learning what I do, and do not like when it comes to local cuisine. Just for anyone who may come here, the stinky tofu that smell like rotten feet, tastes almost the same as it smells. Other food is awesome though, and very inexpensive. I am aout to go see if they can get my shower fixed this morning so I wish you all a good day!
