Hi everybody
(^_^#)
You can't believe what my mom and my ex-boyfriend have actually been through
to get this blog going. I really hope you apreciate it, because it made my
phone bill raise to to no extend!
Well, everybody knows that the internet is not completely working in China,
so I wans't able to use neither my usual mail address nor can I post
directly. This is how it works now: I send an e-mail with my daily posting
to my ex-boyfriend and he is publishing it, since e-mail publishing doesn't
work either.
Okay let's get started, since there is a lot to tell....couple of days
already *G*
Got on my plain on Tuesday afternoon from Bremen to Frankfurt in oder to go
to Shanghai. Well...already checking in did not go as the usual. I HAD TO
PAY OVERWIGHT FOR MY LUGGAGE. Can you believe that. They wanted to charge me
even more than my freakin' ticket cost in the first way! Flight was
allright, even though Economy Class for such a long flight sucked majorly.
Lucky me, there was noone sitting next to me, so I was able to strech a
little bit at least.
Food on the plain was YACK. Flight was pumpy, but I landed securely in
Shanghai on Thursday last week. Everything went all right, except my
transfer to the Hotel. Got ripped off badly by some pseude cab driver, but
hey I at least made it to the hotel. Which is kind of not what I had
expected. Okay, those of you knowing me better know, that I'm a rather
spoiled brat, but it is only one month, I can do a month with a not so good
hotel (who am I trying to convince here?)
Arrived at the hotel, got into my room, took a shower and slept, cuz I
haven't selpt all night.
Went out......first food. Crappy Japanese Restaurant. Very bad mood!
I don't think I did anything else that day. Was around 9 or 10 p.m. anyways.
Next day: Friday: Majorly sucking day. (-_-#) not kidding. Got up early and
had breakfast. SUCKED. no realy, the only thing you can actually eat is
fruit, anything else tastes like shit. Okay, spoiled kiddo arlarm again.
Then I wen't shopping, or at least tried, but I did not find anything at all
to buy. First of all I can't find a decent cd-shop to buy some new good rock
music, and the receptionist at the hotel can't help much, to be honest.
Their English isn't the best, neither is mine, and my Chiese skills are
improving on a daily basis, which does not mean that they are good, they
still suck! So Chinese is not really an opportunity yet.
Well, at least the cab drives understand it, when I ask them to go to a
certain road. (^_^)
Ah I need to tell you this: Chinese people are not small, at least not in
Shanghai. I'm not kidding, I walked by so many tall guys, taller than ME!
and I'm like 6'1". They are tall, many are good looking, too! Okay, everyone
of you knows that I fall for Asians easyly, even though I still don't know
why. But they are half of me. I wouldn't consider myself fat, but copared to
Shanhaiens I AM (;_;)
Well my day wen't by and I was getting hungry, so I wanted to try out
Ashanti dome, since my tommy wan't gonna take much more strange things that
day. The taxi driver kicked me out in the middle of nowhere and pointed into
some direction. So I started walking, and ended up not finding what I was
looking for. But I found something way better. Been Cafe. I's a really good
restaurant....don't know the street it is in, but if someone really want's
to know I certainly can find it out. Really stylish place, nice waiter, menu
in Chinese and English, and if uou don't know what to eat, just ask the
waiter to recommend something and he will. He chose some fried pork sticks
with chillie sauce....really yummie, some potato stuff, at least it said
potato, even though it didn't taste like some. And for dessert some sweet
bean stuff. Everything was really really good.
If you wanna dine in China, you better get used to the fact that everything
comes at once, even though that doesn't meant that everything should be
eaten at the same time! So I was stuffed and in a really good mood. Took a
cab to my hotel. Made myself up and off I was to my first night in Shanghai.
Went to Maoming Nan Lu because it is said that this street rocks. It was
actually kind of empty. Beeing a coward that day I went to a bar which is
known for many foreingers going there. BIG MISTAKE. Not kidding. NEVER go
where many foreigners go! NEVER! That bar was called Manhatten and was
packed with Westerners hitting on Chinese grils and them taking advantege of
those guys, by letting them pay for their drings. Talk about 1 minute and
leave for another one to get a drink from. And all those supid white men go
for it. It was kind of funny to watch, but then one of those tried to hit on
me. HE was drunk out of his mind and spoke a really poor English with a
heavy German accent. Of course I did not tell him I was German, too.
Actually I tried hard to ignore that sun of a bitch. But he was some
persistant little wrack. He was like "why you look so angry" I said nothing,
but he kept on asking the same shit over and over again. Grrrr why do guys
like him never get it, when Someone does not want to speak to them??????? So
I told him, that I did't wonna talk with him and he completely freaked out.
I'm not kidding. He started talking to me in German, not knowing that I
understood every single word he said. Telling me, that he had never
experienced such a thing, and that I was a bitch and ugly and blablabla,
whatever guys say in such situations. But the best thing was yet to come. He
actually said, that he would redesign my face if it wasn't for my braces. He
really said he'd beat me up. Can you actually believe this? I mean, I've
said way worse things to guys, and never ever had a similar reaction.
Actually I'd never say anything obviously mean to Asians, but to a German
guy? If he behaves like that in Germany, too, he probably got a couple of
drinks landing in hin face!
I emptied my bottle of beer and left. I've had enough for that day.
At my hotel room, I was still so angry about that guy that I didn't fall
asleep until 5 in the morning.
Took a 12 hour nap, got up, tried to go shopping in Nanjing Lu, again
nothing. Ate a little dish at a Cafe, went back to my Room and watched
Channel [V]. Some Asian Music Television. Went back to sleep.
Okay that's it for my first posting....I guess tomorrow will be the next one
(^_^) Still have to catch up with a lot of things more or less worth telling
them
So bye bye for today (^_^)
