Lately
I've been very busy lately, juggling all this work has been such a killer. I finally have some time to catch up on my favourite blogs, and I'm slowly getting tired. Like I even have the energy to figure out all the different endings to MARV's Choose Your Own Adventure... The one I read, I killed him (woo hoo!).
My body aches because of the hardcore manual labour I was put through on Friday and Saturday. Nick and I got paid $100 US (along with some other people) to help set up for China's biggest expat party. We thought we were getting a deal from it ($100 USD goes a long ass way here) boy were we fucking wrong. Independence Day in SH attracts over 2,000 people. To accomodate them and their activities, we had to move over 5,000 bottles of beer, 12,000 cans of pop, tents, chairs, tables and 2 tonnes of sand for their friggin kids so they could build sandcastles - all in the rain. After working all day and night for 2 nights, I realized how much of a princess us North Americans can be. I kept wanting to wash my hands when they got dirty, my feet were sore, back aches, eyes tired the list goes on. Definitely wasn't worth the $100 USD we made. It was pretty fun though, in China, the beer companies push their beers by hiring hot chicks, dress them up in the beer colours and have them smile and wave their asses. Nick and I got so drunk visiting the Budweiser and Steinlager girls.
In contrast, I went to SH's Canada Day celebration today, which was way smaller. About 150 heads in a small area of a park. The park is SH's biggest, called Century Park, and in this park, there is an area called Montreal Gardens. It was designed and set up by the city of Montreal... cool, but nothing spectacular. I was just surprised to see some grass. I had to go and schmooze, meet all the Canadian important people and try to push those Diana Krall tickets. I offered 2 for raffle... everyone was quite happy. I also came in 2nd in a watermelon eating contest, won a bottle of Cognac. Some biatch beat me!
Yaay Brazil! I guess my last entry totally didn't make sense, seeing Korea didn't even play Germany, but what a frickin match. I've never watched a full game of football until I got to China. Velly lice!
