Little tiger.
Thank you to everyone who wished me a happy birthday! *big hugs* Special thanks to mistress_tallis for the LJ fireworks, and to my lovely so_spiffed who surprised me with flowers delivered to my student dorm in Shanghai. They're sitting on top of my microwave right now (is that bad for flowers? I'll try and clear another space for them later). We'd just been talking about cultural meanings for different colours and flowers in yesterday's class, and I was thinking that it could be a (really bad joke): A Chinese, a Japanese, and a American are picking out a flower arrangement for a friend who's getting married. What kind of mixed message would white lilies, pink roses, and white orchids send?
Last night was dinner out with friends (new and old), pizza, and whiskey cocktails in the French Concession, where every expat seems to know every other. It was a side to this city frequented mainly by young foreigners which I'd never had the chance to enter before; and the start of a discovery, I expect.
