Back to Reality!

Well, I hope you all enjoyed your stay in Tom's Comic Book World. Unfortunately, his fortune-telling skills are a bit off, as we didn't get a massage, we didn't take any pictures (although we will definitely take some tonight, as it's one year until the Olympics and there's a big celebration at Tiananmen Square in an hour or so), and we didn't resolve our job hunt, but we're working on it.

We did, however, visit 10 Kuai Bar, which is just like it sounds: everything on it's (admittedly limited) menu is Y10, or about $1.25. I expected cheap, gross alcohol, but the drinks were good and the bartender was very nice. The only other person there was a traveler from the Netherlands, who bought us a round of drinks and made good conversation. All in all, not a bad night.

The weather is finally hot and dry, which means: laundry! We did what was at least two washing machine loads worth (ha! Washing machines!), and it took me over two hours. But I'm not complaining, because my pajamas are clean and they don't smell like wet dog or mildew from hanging in the humid shower.

We have more news, but we're off to the celebration, so we'll post again soon - with pictures!

Grandma and I are watching the Olympics Tiananmen Square celebration on TV this morning (the Today show)and thinking of you both there. Let us know what it was like being there in person, OK?
