I'm currently in a little internet cafe surfing the interwebs because I have no life. NO this is not true, I have reasons for being on here. Blog is one of them....I think.
This past week I feel like I've done everything and anything there is to do in China. Between teaching Halloween in classes this week (which by the way went hilariously) and making new friends at Shenzhen university to getting asked to pose as "fake italians" for some chinese company (which I declined). Thursday we went to Happy Valley with some girls from the university and enjoyed the rollar coasters and Halloween festivities (it wasn't Cedar Point but it was no less awesome) Friday of course was Halloween and we celebrated it the only way we knew how...by wearing awesome costumes and getting drunk. There was also karaoke earlier in the afternoon with our Chinese classes, which we rocked.
I've been checking out the photos from Halloween...ho boy. We were classic that night. Some highlights of the night for those of you who missed it (and by that I mean everyone in America)
- All you can eat Pizza and Beer for 100 kuai (about $15) at NYPD pizza, complete with entertainment - that we didn't pay for
- Fred Brewer showing up in that little purple number. Man did he make a fine lookin' woman!
- James Jones coming as himself
- Andy Quitmeyer's rendition of MMMmmbop during karaoke
- Daniel Higgs and his full out werewolf costume - and how the chinese kids were basically unfazed by it
- All the kids dressed as.....chinese kids (self included)
- The frightening overgrown babies....Evan close your legs please!
- BAI HUA XIAO XUE
- Rachel and her zombie costume and her attacking everyone with fake blood
- The Foreigner "Zoo"
- John McCain and Sarah Palin showed up at one point...
- The tooth and the door (compliments of Caroline and Amy)
- Brendon Albertson's beat boxing and Danny Stokely's freestyle rapping made the night!
- Gavica!!!!
Most of these are unfortunately inside jokes of the group. If you want me to explain any of them I'll be happy to. Otherwise try to check out what photos there are on facebook, I'll be getting mine up on myspace soon enough. Til then...

Thank you for blogging once more, my darling daughter. Michigan is not cold here in November yet. It is a little balmy at 60 degrees. We have turned colors, and the leaves are coming down. Harvest time once again. It is a very pretty season, and I do love both autumn and spring; so I completely understand how it would be missing in your life.
I am thrilled that Halloween week was great for you. You love the holiday so much. By the way, Mikey's little boo toy still wonders around the house spreading Halloween love throughtout the year.
I have spent the weekend getting your box ready. I must finish it tonight, because it is going to be shipped out tomorrow! Yay for it leaving from Panasonic via Phyllis and DHL. I know you will love getting 'stuff' from home.
I hope you have a great week!
Hugs...
Love Mom
i know i've said this like 80 times, but i just love reading your mom's comments. they warm my lil heart.
''Evan close your legs please!'' HAHAHA.
Hi Panda,
I have not heard you say that about my comments! How nice of you to mention. I still miss Shauna's cousin Joel posting on her blog. I am no match for him... but thank you kindly.
So do you like pandas? I heard a very cool story about twin pandas happening after an earthquake rescue there in China...Not sure if you heard. Please see below ~ Yay!
"Chinese state TV has broadcast pictures of three-month-old twin pandas born just after the July earthquake.
The panda twins are called Ping Ping and An An and were born at the Giant Panda Protection and Research Centre in Ya'an.
The giant panda is one of the world's most endangered species. The healthy cubs are now among 1,590 pandas living in China.
The birth of the panda twins is a triumph for the centre, which works to reintroduce pandas back into the wild."
