Christmas in China
So my school moved my Friday classes to Wednesday, then Wednesday evening, I went to the CTLC Christmas Eve party. We played Monopoly pre dinner, and after dinner we finished the game. Dinner was tasty, and the performances were silly (maybe closer to the Chinese translation of silly which means stupid). After dinner and performaces and finishing Monopoly, I was bored, so I went up to my hotel room to read, but that was boring too, so I went to the beer party room one floor down. My friend Winston was drunk, sitting on a bed, so I sat down and he asked why I wasn't drinking and said that I should be drinking, and gave me the rest of his beer and went off to find another one of his own. So I went into the hallway to hang out with Kyle and Rachel, then I went down to the lobby and played UNO and never have I ever, and then Serena said she wanted street food, so I went with her and a bunch of other people. Kate was pretty drunk already, and she got another beer at the street food place. Street food is food on sticks that's been bbq'ed, effin delicious. So Kate is yelling "merry christmas" in chinese at every chinese person who passes by, until some guy was really happy about it, and have her a new years party pack: two kazoos, a party mask, and a ring with bells on it like a tamborine. Then she just pointed at chinese people and blew her kazoos at them. Eventually, after Barrett took and threw one kazoo into the street, she said "I'm gonna make new friends" and left our table to sit with a group of chinese people. We migrated with her, and the chinese people bought us more beer and baijiu (supposidly the most vile alcohol ever; nobody FUCKS YOU UP like baijiu). There was ganbei-ing (bottom's up!) and we hung out with them until the baijiu came out Kate's new friend's nose. Then we decided to go back to the hotel. Nobody was up and about when we got back except Winston, who was quite smashed and hitting on me. And then he wanted to walk me to my room, and barred my door, and asked for a kiss, and I was like "VERY NO! I have a boy I love and you ain't him." and he backed off, and I went to bed.

Christmas day, we had free breakfast. Then Nicole and I went to her place, dropped off our stuff, and went shopping in Dongmen (cheap stuff, cheap prices) and I got a bag and mahjong tiles. Dinner was Turkish food with James, Nicole, and Kyle. Then we played mahjong and went home.

Friday was my school's 5th year Anniversary party. Weird. Then I went to dinner with the teachers, and after two glasses of liquid courage, I mean wine, they made me sing a song in Chinese. I got the most and loudest claps and cheers. Then I ducked out early to play Munchkin with James, Amy, Sara, and Nicole while we watched Dressed to Kill.

Saturday dinner was all you can eat all you can drink delicious Japanese food. :) Teh Sweet!
