Autumn
Fall isn’t like this in Hangzhou.
This looks like where I used to live Englewood Cliffs, NJ
2nd Semester
2nd semester starts next week and today was registration day.
Seems like the amount of students doubled from last semester, pretty excited to meet some new people from all over the world.
Oh and I also got an apartment now. Living with my brother and another friend. Pictures of the pad later!!!
Apparently
In China, a bicycle can act as a mini van.
Just saw 4 people whiz by me on one.
It was insane.
In China
It’s considered very rude to whistle……lol
It’s associated with little children doing mischievous acts or young men trying to whistle and pick up “hot girls”.
Every time I’m walking around or biking around China I ALWAYS whistle, so does Kevin.
I guess that explains all the dirty looks we get from everybody..
Wow
Okay I know I just said all that in the last post but I JUST read something on another blog I follow and it also makes complete sense to me:
“ The best moments go completely missed by camera but I think that’s a good thing, some things should remain as memories only. “
Hmmm dillemma
Just Do It
Document your life as much as you can. What you do, who you meet, experiences you go through.
“Time flies by”
I think this is one saying that 99.9% of the world knows because it is THAT true. Pictures and video don’t fade away like memories. Even looking back at my college pictures, and high school pictures just blows my mind how all that was part of my life. Can’t wait...
Motivation
Make moves, make money, travel and chill

Yep.
Her music’s a breath of fresh air
In China
It’s considered very rude to whistle. From a while ago, little troublemakers would whistle after they did something mischievous.
Kevin and I both have a habit of whistling whenever we walk around China.
We get dirty looks from a bunch of people.
China
OW
Suede looks buttery
Superbad
In China
People try to get into an elevator before the people already inside the elevator try to get out.
Swag
From nothing to something
Yea..
Sarcasm doesn’t exist in China. I’m pretty sarcastic with my friends and tried being a bit sarcastic to some of my Chinese students who I’ve become closer with but it just doesn’t work.
How does a hilarious form of humor not exist? They’re missing out hardcore
Best GIF?
Hahaha what real person takes off their glasses like then when they see something crazy lol
Swagg
Rice all the time ain’t cuttin it for real.
Still looking at food blogs all day everyday. Got a “What to eat when I go back to the States list” pages and pages long.
Random: Was talking to my brother the other day and asked him “Where do you want to go for a travel?”
He was like “Wtf did you just say”
Me: Oh my bad..
I’m forgetting English...
What's Good
My Chinese Mao Shoes…..gangsta
Wear these joints everyday.
chyeaa
finally got my internet back holmes.
Flying
So since I was a little child, I have been having countless dreams about me flying. To start off I kind of need a running start and then once I catch some speed I just jump a bit and I’m gliding to anywhere I choose. I can turn left and turn right at will but if I want to gain altitude I have to do a swimming motion, like the breast stroke for example. It’s strange.
Last night was the...
wow?
106 degrees tomorrow and the entire weekend…..
85% humidity?
Where the hell am I??
Oh yea
One of my students was telling me how she recently got a boyfriend. She along with other Chinese people don’t know the term “going out” so this is how she told me:
“I’ve known this boy for a very long time. We were good friends for years and then we fell in love 3 days ago.”
By “falling in love” she means going out. And this reminded me of...
merr
So I thought I’d be moved out into an apartment by now but finding a nice place that suits me is harder than I thought. I didn’t pay for my internet because I thought I’d be out of the school dorms by now…which is why I haven’t been on the internet for a few days. I’ve been stealing my friend’s login for the past week hehe
Anyways, got lots of stuff to...
Chinese Etiquette
If you have a guest or take someone out to dinner, you absolutely must order a fish dish. Fish is one of the pricier items on the menu and if you do not order a fish dish it implies that you are very cheap and not willing to spend some money on them.
So the next time you take someone out to a Chinese person to dinner..
ORDER THE FISH
Jen Lee:
“You’re like herpes”
“You were a whale”
Look back on this and laugh T.K.
Sick
Two completely different but perfect examples of SWAG.
Swag is not you in an Ed Hardy Tee.

It hit 103 today with 90% humidity.
China is the only place where even at night time it’s still 95 degrees.
Need to escape this place…
babe what’s good??
Damn
So I got done tutoring this girl just now and she was telling me about her work.
She’s a software tester and went to another city for 7 days to work on a project. She’s been working for this company for 4 months now and every class I have with her she seems so tired. She told me she just got back today from a 7 day working week, where she worked 16 hours a day. The company only paid...
Couldn't help it..
