Yesterday and today have been a little "cloudy" for me. I think the stimulation of being in a new city has calmed down a bit, and I missed home for the first time. Not in a big way, but I definitely used the term "F@*# OFF" to the weather at one point. It's just that I was at the beach, sunbathing after an early morning run 2 weeks ago- (most of you know how close I am with the beach) and now it's ALMOST unbearably cold weather. It's the wind, stings the nostrils- quite pungent actually. Sunny and I bared the elements and went to the gym last night, where we dropped in on a class that mixed martial arts with some sort of punching the air and some yoga. It was bizarre and liberating. Especially the punching part. My imagination was in full effect, and an infamous "party boy" skateboarder was at the end of my fist. I am typically a gentle spirit-so this was new and exciting for me- and I went all out, balls to the wall! There is such beauty in letting things and people go that don't suit you, as heartbreaking as it may be sometimes. It's such a light feeling once you've found your freedom again. Moving on....
Let me tell you about the dumplings here. They are sinful. I am an addict by nature, so this is going to be a HUGE problem for me and my ass. I seriously haven't been able to get my mind off of them since Sunny took me Yangs last week, and I am not allowing myself to eat them until Saturday. Control issues? Perhaps.
This leads me to the reason I am not allowed to eat dumplings until Saturday- I have a meeting friday with an agency who wants to represent me to do some modeling and acting. I'm not sure exactly what it's going to be like, but it sounds like fun and I can use some extra cash!! Nobody ever got hurt doing silly tv stuff in Shanghai. (See below post from Sunny)I hope!
I leave you with this;
The Chinese drivers seem to believe they are in the game "Pole Position" at all times, while on the road. I have no idea why there are even painted lines on the road, as they do whatever they want- including nearly mowing pedestrians down frequently. They also love to honk, for any reason, every reason and no reason at all! It's hilarious. Pedestrians and scooters DO NOT have the right away, if you don't believe this- it will not be a pretty party for you! The order of road authority is;
1. Buses
2. Oversized trucks
3. Cars
4. Scooters
5. Bicycles
6. People
Goodnight my lovers and Namaste :)
