    Still looking for volunteers? I want to do the race but I think my bike will be too slow for such a long ride. Plus my costume isn’t bike-ride appropriate.

    I suggest finding a western hospital or western doctor. There are some around Tongzilin, I think. You can google Global Doctors Chengdu.

    Good luck and wrap it up!

    I found this useful website with the 3000 most commonly used Chinese characters. I’m finding it to be a good review for words I’ve already learned but keep forgetting.

    Just got back from Gentle Dental today. I had two cavities drilled and filled (don’t judge me!) and it was supposed to come to 600 but he gave me a discount because I didn’t use any painkillers.

    I also got a cleaning a couple months ago and it was a little expensive, about 260 kuai.

    Definitely not cheap but facilities and equipment were good and Dr. Rinver speaks pretty good English. Plus, I’m not tryin to mess around with my teeth, I’d rather just pay a little more.

    I’m super late to this party but I think a big issue in China is that the girls here start “dating” a lot later than westerners and are generally inexperienced. The lesson that Lucy learned, we all learned when we were, like, 16. As Danielle said, a 2 week fling is not a relationship, and if you’re going to throw yourself at a guy, you can’t be mad when he doesn’t want to make you his girlfriend. Why buy the cow when you can get the milk for free? If I were a single girl in a foreign country full of hot men throwing themselves at me, I wouldn’t be able to choose just one either.

    Careful traveling with the kindle in a ziplock. I did the same thing and some condensation got in there and smeared the screen. Then I accidentally rolled over on it and cracked it the rest of the way. Amazon agreed to replace it for free but only when my mom called. When I called they said they would give me a discounted price of $65, but they’re only $70 right now. Not much of a discount. My mom’s sending me a new one monday tho!

    I looked in Hong Kong for a case but they didn’t even know what the kindle was. Maybe someone could mail you a cover from the states?

    I just got my free book!

    For anyone looking to learn Chinese, The Practical Chinese Reader (the first in a series of three) is on the site for 50RMB. I just finished it. It is an excellent book for learning to read and speak Chinese. I highly recommend it.
