I'll be leaving for China on the 29th, and i'll be returning on the 7th. I don't know if ill be on after tomorrow. I have packing to do.

goodluck man, take alot of pics, and dont drink the water

Oh, hot damn. GLHF. Don't catch anything...

I don't know if I have enough space on my memory card for all the photos I'm going to take. Lol. I'll be drinking a lot of milk tea, and other stuff I don't get here. So no time for water.

wtf is milk tea?

Something that you should really try. It's basically condensed milk mixed with tea.
If you have any Asian Markets near you, you can buy it in a can. But it's not as good as the real stuff.

mmmm boba tea

mmm so it's like a creamy tea. sounds tasty.

Exactly. F*CKING delicious!

Well I'm off to bed. Gotta be at the airport in 7 hours. Flight leaves for Shanghai at 6:45. See you all in a little over a week!

Have fun.. do you know chinese?

My sister drinks that shit. haha is it good?

You should try Bull's milk. Straight from the Bull so it's still fresh.

Only Asian Locations I'm remotely interested in is Hong Kong and Pyongyang.

Shanghai seems like it'd be a hot spot but I'm not to warm traveling around PRC territory.

Have fun being tailed by the peoples glorious army units you gweilo spy.

Maybe they're DTF

I was in HK last year. They're both amazing. But if you don't know any chinese, or you don't have someone to translate. You would be better off in HK than Shanghai, because HK is an english colony so it is a requirement for the new generation to learn engrish in school. I've been here for a couple days now, and I can say HK is WAY cleaner, the people are much nicer and the food is pretty much the same. But in HK I stayed in Hotels and had a tourist trip. Here i'm getting to live in my gf's familys appts and experience what it's like to live here from day to day. So I can't quite compare.

Forgot to respond to this..lol.

There is actually a huge military presence this week. They're celebrating Chinese National Day all week. So instead of just the 28 million residents, there are a few million other tourists, and family coming in from around the world. So they have to use the military to keep the streets in order. I've got some photos, and videos of some CRAZY F*CKING crowds of people. It's F*CKING awesome. Oh, and as you can tell. I found internet lol.
