Woke up about 11 in the morning yesterday but probably totalled about five hours of sleep the whole weekend. I missed my basketball game with Doug and the Shanghai OGs (Foreign Experts, hot shower division) 2nd week in a row. Sorry for that, gege. I went with Solomon and his Japanese JET friend Cathleen to get famous Xiao Long Bao around the Yu Yuan Gardens. I was tired and blurry eyed, but I could still appreciate just how Chinese this part of SHanghai was. This may sound stupid, but Shanghai isn't exactly the most Chinese of cities. Yu Yuan gardens had a lot more traiditional buildings that reminded me of Beijing, Hangzhou, and other cities I have seen.
It's insane, I am listening to G's Filipino music, eating American style hickory bbq bacon, and feeling like I am in the NYC of Chinese cities. I miss Hangzhou, Yangshuo, Xian, and China. That's funny, that's insane, that's MATH. I'ev decided to go under dtox to not only take care of my liver but also because I feel like I am clubbing and bar hopping when I should be taking care of my health mentally physically and spiritually. Think i'll make a trip to Jing An temple. To the Baby, I'm still being "bad".
Started training with JT and Kev. JT is a combat loving Singaporean with an interesting past and knowledge of street food. It's fun to work out with guys who are just as dedicated as you are about excercise. Wow that sounded rather queer of me, and yet it's true. Kev knows a whole bunch about no-gym-needed workouts and I am loving it. Almost makes me regret joining a gym.
Ever Justin has somehow become my hunter. Everyday he learns new English phrases to insult me with. Two nights ago it was "It doesn't look good on you." Yesterday it was "You are greasy." Last few days are a blur. Time to see tings clearly. Zaijian
