1 month

Day 32
Well it’s been one month, and all I can say is, “ Wo lei le.” Translation: “I’m tired”. It’s been quite a month and one that I will definitely not forget. It was full of excitement, disappointment, full stomachs, new friends, and new experiences. Last night I ate my first burger in Shanghai at a restaurant called, Blue Frog and it wasn’t half bad. Topped with a fried egg and French fries, it was well worth the 40 kuai ($5.84). The ultimate guys and I hung out afterwards at one of their apartments and I finally got home around 12:24, just in time to try to get some sleep for work. Work was LONG. It wasn’t that bad though because I finally got to do what my title says: design. It was cool to finally design something in the company and things are looking better. So I experienced my first burger in Shanghai, my first design iteration at my firm, and tonight I experienced my first pizza. 12 inch, Hawaiian thick crust for only 50 kuai, including tip. It was actually quite good. I forgot that I was really a huge fan of Hawaiian pizza but the review of Melrose’s said that it was good, so I went with it. Good choice. It hit the spot and the best part will be cold pizza in the morning. So that’s one month down, and only four more to go, stay tuned.
