1. Late night Nanjinglu adventure! Never get so carried away with shopping that you miss the last train or you’ll get stuck in the freezing streets of Shanghai for 1.5h hours searching for non-existant taxis until a kind lady comes along to walk you back to your destination, which is 45min away.
2. Wanted to take a photo with a cute old lady wearing a princess hat so we asked her, and she said “$5 please.”
3. Ordered barley drink (yi mi) but was served corn juice (yu mi).
4. Jieying fell down on public roads 5times in a day. (I swear it had nothing to do with me).
5. Sherlene the russian mafia chuckling bowling ball polar bear Ahma tried poking her straw into her drink, with the wrapper still on. She claimed that it’s cause she saw a China lady do it, but that China lady just forgot to take the wrapper off.
6. Some saw live tiny goldfishes being sold in keychains. Cruel. And the guy selling those keychains disappeared in 3s when a policeman came along. It went like this: Policeman: "bu yao zai mai le! (don't sell already)" Man selling goldfish: "mai wan le! mai wan le! (finished selling!)"
7. The Datong teacher absolutely lurrvvesss Leo. Hugs. (Hahahaha!)
8. Threw a ball at Jieying that hit her forehead then fell into sherlene’s shoe. Sherlene: (In her ahma bellylaugh) HAHAHAHA! Louise: Don’t smell it! Don’t smell it!
9. Chicky is the new strings mascot. Leo shitted on Chicky.
10. Louise's strategy to get a seat on the bus OR to get off the bus: Scream "RANG KAI!" [this has been PROVEN and TESTED by louise herself]
11. If Sherlene was stranded in the toilet after pooping without toilet paper and nobody outside to hear her, she would sit there and cry. (NO SHE WON'T! that's renjean's story)
12. Li Dao (the tour guide) said to the lady-driver of the tram at the China OBS, after she agreed to reverse the tram to get to where we wanted to go to: "zai zhe me leng de yi tian, kan dao ni de re xin, wo zhen shi kai xin si le! (on such a cold day, having seen your re xin ("hot heart"), I'm so happy I could die!)
13. After eating ma la tang on the night at Nanjing road, we accidentally spilled the soup on the table, and everyone was in a frenzy "AH AH AH!" and the beggar near us went "zhao huo le! zhao huo le! (on fire! on fire!)"
14. Leo tried bargaining for something (can't remember what). It was 15 yuan, and he asked the lady for 14 yuan and she was like "what's the point of bargaining? It's just 1 yuan!" But he gradually improved. Chen Lao Shi is still the best at bargaining.
