Passing Me By
Sometimes life just seems to pass you by. I get up every morning at 7:30. Go to the kitchen and put a glass of soymilk in the microwave and set it for 1 minute. Take my morning pee, brush my teeth, wash my face, pour a bowl of oatmeal, add the soymilk, eat my oatmeal and soymilk while thinking about the suit combo I'm going to wear to work, change, get into a cab, work all day, eat dinner, come home, shower and then go to bed. That is my day. Everyday. Every fucking day.
There's more right? There's got to be more!
7 Habits can be an answer to my problems I suppose.
Found out that two good friends from Toronto will be visiting me in Shanghai this August, I'm going to make sure they go to all the dirty places!
A friend of mine, Henry, is leaving Shanghai to live in Xiamen for a year. People are really come and go here in Shanghai. Only a handful of people ever go past 1 year, and the ones that do jump ship after 2. By the time 3 comes, if you haven't left, you're usually in til at least 5. It's emotionally taxing meeting people, befriending them, and then having to say goodbye to them. That's one of the bad things about living out here. That and the whores that I walk past every evening when I come home from work. They're so dirty. Them and yo Mama!

As a recent, former Shanghaier myself i gotta agree with you about the difficulty of meeting people in Shanghai. Like all those people we hung around with at Fudan just disappearing at the end of the term. Still, looks like you're doing well, having fun and enjoying what you do. Good luck!
