Tuesday. It was a hard night of sleeping next to a random woman and her child all in one seat. Finally got to Xi'an at 830am!! So glad to get the F outta the smoke filled place. T and Tiffany got attacked by a chinese -english speaking lady that was telling us about terracotta tours and how to rent a car it would be 300. I thought it was kinda sketchy and didn't have a good feeling about it, but if they want to do it, whatever..the lady translated and helped us buy a soft sleepr (bed) for shanghai tonight..thank godddd we got tickets!!!!! I had a feeling we would be ok..
Then we agreed to go on her tour and she took us to McD so we can eat but we ended up ditching her and Tiffany I guess paid her 100 to go away. Then we looked for the bus for a min after but ended up making the decision to js take a taxi which would be easier. So my dream came true..I saw my warriors!!!!!!!!! Amazing to be there..amazing.. I got some sovenirs for myself lol and got my first subway sandwich..ever..in Xi'an! Now on train to Shanghai!! there's a man in our compartment..he's in the bunk under me. As usual, everyone is smoking outside. Me and tiff got beef wit pepper and onions with rice for dinner. We went to the restaurant part and saw mad police ppl.Prob corrupt..one like pulled on the servers apron, so the server js ripped it off, wtf. I think I'm coming down with an allergic reaction\ due to how dirty this china is..I got to wash my face though so I'm happy about that. Wish I can shower..gotta wait til we get to hostel though. I get to eat xiao long bao soon!! Soooo excited. Hahaha, def need a vacation to rest myself for this one, though I got ample amounts of sleep, but still.

Wednesday. Slept til we were about to get off the train! I only got to brush my teeth and then I had to run off! Yay, so got to hostel way too early that no one was there..so went back 3 hours later at 1pm and checked in. Got lunch at this chinese restaurant, got 2 plates of whatever and rice, family style. We went to a nearby mall and ate, I got mochi!! Mmm showered and got to go online on my bb. Then took a nap and went to dinner at a nearby mall. Korean bbq! Then went to Cloud 9 bar, 87th floor! Lol. Lots of white people..men.

Thursday. Woke up real early, without an alarm. Around 830am. Showered then went to allison's apartment, got lost on the way of course. The roads curve..very weird. Then I went to grocery shop with her, ran into one of her roommates, julia. They have a maid. Each got their own bathrooms. Then we all went to lunch at Element Fresh. Very american. Shared a salad (chicken teriyaki) and club sandwich. Got fresh mango smootie. Then went shopping. Julia left after, but me and allison went to get out nails done then massage then dinner with her friend..arthur? Now back in hostel. Don't know where anyone is..the hostel lady and her bf seem..awkward. They were playing a computer game, the lady was..(Farm frenzy)

Friday. I went out wit wendy to people's square (met her there). So I took the train by myself! Finding it was..hard..10 mins walk and finally spotted it. I couldn't find the entrance on one side of the street so I crossed and went in that way..though BOTH sides have the "M" sign. Then we ate at a restaurant with really good noodles along with coconut milk and tapioca. Then went to "Chi Poo Lou". I got a buncha stuff. Haggled..hahaha, wendy helped. I got myself a cap. Then ate some meat on stick and McD. Then went to Fudan uni and chilled, went online while wendy slepted. Then went to eat dumplings around 9. Then went to Glamour Bar with wendy and hannah, her friend I met when they came to HK. Got a mojito then I took a separate taxi home to hostel. He dropped me mad close and didn't rip me off. I showered and slept like a babyyyy.
