Being Active For Once

I actually did stuff yesterday! Rode the bus out to Ximending and met with a friend from college I met in our dance crew. She's from China so her parents were there and I ate dinner with them. Didn't have an appetite but of course Asian families don't care and they kept trying to get me to eat haha

Ximending is a shopping district, now mostly for young people--there's movie theaters, stores with cute stuff, "young people fashion" (although I don't think I would ever wear that stuff), etc. I like to wander around there, although it's becoming more and more commercial. 

Anyway so we wandered around after her parents went back to the hotel, got lost a few times, looked for the bathroom a few times. The most English I've spoken this week, and it's totally the best feeling to not have to think about how to say things :P and she made fun of my lack of Chinese reading ability >.<

Today, I rode a bus (number 235) about 15-20 minutes to a big road and walked back for an hour and a half, just for fun :P 

I'm still jetlagged :P
