Habits

There’s a great tradition of sharing here.  My coworkers regularly rotate who buys lunch, coffee, or gifts for the team.  Most weeks someone on my team gets juice fresh juice for everyone.  I've tried and tried to get in the rotation of buying, but they just won’t let me!  Everyone’s too nice.  So if they won’t let me buy juice, what’s the American thing to do?   Cookie delivery.

It’s the one habit I can’t shake.  There are so many desserts, and they keep ending up on my plate.  It doesn’t help that I had an Easter basket delivery from someone a few weeks ago...

My favorite place even started carrying cupcakes.  What kind of person would I be if I didn't try one?

I guess it’s not the only habit.  I keep complaining to myself about not traveling, and getting around China.  Then I go and do stuff like this.

The European tour was in town, and for the first time ever a Chinese citizen won on home soil.  It was a good time, except for my stupid sun burn.  I’m religious about sunscreen back home, and yet completely blew it off here. 

There's one other evil habit.  Uber.  It's how I get everywhere.  As of this weekend Uber China just got upgraded.


The next few weeks are going to be pretty packed.  I actually am planning on traveling soon, so I hope to have some great pictures and stories.  If there’s anything you want to see let me know!  Hard to think there’s only two months left.

  1. Delivery. You know where we work, we only have 28 days of school left, hope our desserts will make it in time!

    Let play We spy. We spy, Rachel's phone. We spy selfie remote timer. We spy Girl Scout Cookies. Imagine a picture of your favorite readers sitting at student desks, cinco de mayo decorations all around, eating trefoils girl scout cookies. That's whats happening right now.

    Maayan would like to see a local wearing a pollution mask. Becky would like to see a clear blue Shanghai sky. Mandy would like to see Ben in an UberChopper. Good luck!

  2. Haha Rachel mailed me a card in January, and I STILL haven't received yet. Cookies would definitely get lost in the mail - or not make it out of my room. Rumor on the street is cinco de mayo is tortilla day! I'm awfully sad to not be part of that one.

    And I can promise 2 of those 3!
