Tuesday I got a text from Simon saying he had a fever and would be late. Too bad, but kind of exciting to get a text in Chinese. I spent part of my day doing online Excel tutorials, since last summer and this summer have convinced me of the marketability of Excel skills. I've also started downloading podcasts, some on China, some Chinese language, and the one from A Series of Tubes (my sister's boyfriend's podcast) about some online to do list.
Damin wasn't around when I got home, so I headed back to Fudan Strolling Street for a 40-cent dinner and another 50-cent fresh fruit smoothy. It's a 25-minute walk, so I think I'll probably be back quite a lot. Refused to buy the 7 seasons of Gilmore Girls and 3 seasons of Lost that I was looking at, since together they would've cost me $8...clearly a rip-off. (If any of you want DVDs and are willing to risk them having weird menus, Chinese subtitles, and possibly some slight quality issues...let me know your requests and I'll see what I can do.)

Sounds like you are becoming more and more comfortable with Chinese and more and more knowledgable about Excel. Congrats!
Fudan Strolling Street must be a lot of fun. :-)
I can't believe how cheaply you can eat! You can fill your closet with cashmere!! Be prep'd for bigtime sticker shock when you return to the US...
You are SO right about Excel's marketability. An extremely valuable skill to have! Keep up the good work.
All streets should be named for their purpose. Minneapolis does have Eat Street. That's not the official name, but it's good marketing.
All of Gilmore Girls = heaven. I cannot believe that you stopped yourself from indulging in amazingness.
I've seen some of the first season of Lost, and it is SCARY. I'm glad you didn't buy. And you know I don't approve of Gilmore Girls. All that fast-talking, obscure-reference-making is too much for me!
I'm with Judy on Gilmore Girls... but beyond excited about buying TV series on dvd.
BUY LOST NOW!!!!
