Today I finally was able to buy my bicycle. The bike, lock, and basket all together cost 190 yuan -- or 25 dollars. It is ridiculous. It is a really good bike, for China, at least, much sturdier than the other ones I see around campus. The funniest part of it to me, however, is that after I bought the bike, I noticed that the side of it said "かぜのマぴお" in Japanese. God only knows what Mapio of the Wind is, but naturally I ended up buying the bike with the broken Japanese on it. Naturally.
Pictures forthcoming once my mother's ridiculous package gets here. This is a shout out to my Mom, who took the small list I gave her of things I wanted and ended up sending me a package that sounds nothing short of amazing. I love you, Mom! You didn't need to do that, seriously!
(That gives me one week to drag myself through the end of this book.)
Life in China feels pretty good today. Walking back from the little convenience store on campus (I needed bottled water badly), I heard the sound of the frogs mingling with the crickets in the grass, and for the first time in my paranoid little life, it actually sounded soothing to me.
This weekend, if we have it free, I am totally going shopping and nobody is going to stop me. (There is a Pizza Hut somewhere in this city! I must find it!)
