coley_merrinWe had...lots of chicken today, lol. We ate at this apparently famous noodle restaurant in Beijing, and had chicken with chilis and peanuts, and rice, and noodles (which we tried but weren't immediately fond of...maybe next time), sweet potatoes in hot toffee (very easy to eat in the first two minutes and then impossible as the toffee hardened) and also something called "crispy milk" which kind of like a dumpling filled with sweet, thick white goop, and served with like a banana cream sauce. Um. We ate good. I eat with people who Do not like pork, and Do not like seafood, so we are eating a lot of chicken.
We took the train from Shanghai to Beijing last night, and got stuck (as was my worst fear) with the Snorer From Hell. Only earplugs saved me, let me tell you. So we're all still swaying after a night in a train compartment with a strange man, and me in the upper bunk going "Omg, I'm going to fall. XD XD XD"
...The traffic in Beijing seems about 25% saner than Shanghai (so far... after a day). Shanghai's drivers, bicycles, pedestrians, all have this sort of death wish that includes swapping lanes, walking without care, merging without care... It makes even California wackadoodle drivers look like careful old grandmas. You could not drive in Shanghai without utmost concentration. I'd have an ulcer in a day.
I'm sorry I haven't been able to reply to people's comments... I have had about enough brain power to check lj and keep track of things in SJ land and look at my email... I'm being epic fail, I know. Sigh. I am reading everything though. I might get a chance to start backtracking over the next couple of nights.
...I don't think we've decided if we have the courage to visit Han Mama's restaurant given, um. Lack of Mandarin skills. But, in Shanghai we ran across a Semir store accidentally. XD;;;;;;; I got my pic taken with epic large Siwon poster and made pawing hands at Zhou Mi who was hidden in the dressing room that I didn't go in. No Kyu. :( They probably thought we were teeheeing over cute Asian model boys and not "OH HAY, we saw them in concert last night, teehee." Siwon, ILU forever. :(
...That and I have this zip file of Super Girl album scans uploaded and have as yet to work up the brains to figure out where I should post it (or...how to, in the case of SJ World.... and guts to actually ask how I should do it haven't yet emerged...maybe by the time I'm home.) So... Yeah.
I miss everyone. :( But we are having a good time... New experiences. Tons of new fic ideas. Sigh. I am in Kyu and Mi withdrawal. (Which means I'm working on the HanKyu... explain that...)
ETA: Also, I "lost" my passport and waist pouch today. Lost as in, I remembered taking it off when we got to the room but not where I had put it. Which led to the dismantling of my suitcase and my bed... We found it in Heather's bag, because I had set it on her bed and it had gotten stuffed there accidentally.
So when I say don't listen to me when I'm trying to sound rational and give opinions, I really mean "don't listen to me, I'll get back to you on that." Because I can't keep track of my own belongings right now...

I just have the SJM Super Girl Taiwan cd photobooklet scans, and I know some have already been posted, but these are... ginormous... and I had no idea whether to start a new topic or reply to the one from a month ago. ...Which is way back in the posts, lol.
I'll try and get pics up... Maybe tonight if I'm not too lazy. XD XD <3
