(Soy Milk for Seniors)
Well, here I am on day 8 of the six-week China challenge! Are you still reading? I won’t be offended if you’re not. Things aren’t as new and novel as they were a week ago, but life in China still continues to be hilarious most of the time. Today, Sunday, I had a few goals for the day. First was to do my laundry… it didn’t happen. I can’t figure out what’s going on with the laundry. As far as I know, you can pay someone to do it, but no one has dryers so it will take four days in the cold air to dry anyways. There’s also a machine in the hotel that we are allowed to use, but I keep getting yelled at each time I head that way. Tonight, one of the sweet Chinese cleaners knocked on my door and made some sort of hand gesture that looked like “you can do your washing now,” but it was at 10pm! I’m too tired at 10pm to do the washing! So for now, I will continue to buy new underwear and socks until the washing gets done (I know it’s wasteful, but they’re only $1 each).
In other news, I discovered a nice grocery store near my hotel. I spent some time yesterday browsing the aisles and taking pictures of funny products. Below are two of the best. I am tempted to buy “Coffee for Men,” but worried that it might put hair on my chest. The employees are so funny in this store, they watch me walk down every aisle as if waiting for me to break out in Britney-Spears-like song and dance. That’s what all foreigners do after all. Although, I was the one taking photos of random products on the shelves.
