shanghai expo. 世博 = 肉搏.
neverending long queues. terrifying heat. blazing sunshine that can fry a bald guy's head raw. non-existant personal space. lots of queue-cuttings. boring pavilions (most of them). inspiring video of obama's speech (and another video of planting flowers in a backyard which i liked anyways). cute guy from the norway pavilion whom huan simply refuses to ask for a photograph together; so shy, hur hur.
good thing is, there's barely need to go to toilet no matter how much water we drink because we are practically peeing through our skin. i bet the toilets are at a whole new level of filth and stink, given the great number of people at the expo each day.

huan and her undying obsession with 蒙牛 ice cream (brand specific, oh yes) and 馒头s.
she takes care of at least 1 ice cream per day on the average (as long as she can get her hands on them) and her eyes light up at the sight of 馒头s.

hell's 蒙古包.
smelly toilet which started with having no warm water at night and ended with having no water at all in the morning. television with no signal (missed 3 episodes of 三国, darn it). room lit by blindingly white light reminiscent of those used in criminal interrogations. the bed and blankets had a musky smell to them. the night was dreadfully cold.
but the stars were god-awesome. the beautiful milky way.

supposed acts of perversion to the great gownie king.
the picture of gownie and us on huan's pink canon ixus. gownie's face zoomed up close and carassed. hoho.
but we missed euuuuuu.

after 2 weeks of china, i'm starting to appreciate singapore more and more. the awesome temperature of 28 degrees, the healthy dose of personal space no matter where you go, toilets that smell like air freshener and nothing else, and youtube, dear youtube, 2 weeks without you and my fangirling soul is almost dried up.
huan came back with her new name, because she was jealous of qiuhui's awesome name (hong) 毛丹. now she's known as (tang) 醋鱼.
before i do anything else, i shall first revive my poor fangirling soul.
