The flight to china was 13 hours long and one of the scariest plane rides ever. There was a lot of turbulence. There was this really bad spot where the plane began to shake violently and for a moment i was thought we were gong to crash. i kept thinking "i cant belive this is happening." I was grabbing my cousins hands so hard. I was so scared. then when we get to the airport my cousin and i hear a woman calling her name. She is with a kinda old looking man. I shook his hand. Then i hugged the woman who was crying....5 min later i was told by my cousin that the old looking guy was my pops. hella didnt know. and the woman was my stepmother. shanghai is hot and humid...its like a sauna. met my 90 yr old gramps and my grandma. Then met my 17? yr old step sister. None of them can speak english. lol. today we went around the markets. street boba tatse like caca. hahaha my step sister was like "a lot of girls are checking you out. there was even a girl who was even with her boyfriend hahaha."
and later my cousin pointed this out...ooo and olympics. china is kicking butt. gyea. omg! my stepmother and sister re ruthless at bargaining. they bascially say "This expensive?! For this ghetto shit?! looks its all broken." then walk away while stilling arguing. Hahaha but it works usually dropping down 10x the original price. crazy shanghai native skills. hahahah then white people getting ripped off. they told us that we should not speak english cuz then they will raise the price cuz they know that we are foreigners. hahaha but my the way i look gives it away anyways lol. hella scary signs and anouncements saying not to follow the market people. hella of them trying to force us to follow them to their store. hmmmm then crazy like 10 story mall. then bowling with my pops. got my ass handed to me. its so scary how they drive here. inches from hitting other cars and people. not follwing lines. constant honking.....guess thats it. i miss everyone! and for those of you who understand; wo ai ni. wo shong da ni hung dwo. Paaaaayce! or as they say in china tsai gen!
