#Baking Mysteries! Can you pick the right flour? π
1 Sep
LOL! My student & I attempting to figure out which of 5,000 available flours I needed for baking. π Is it a #dumpling flour or a #wheat flour or an #all-purpose flour? The Fish kind or the wheat stick kind? The life I live. . . . . . I Love it so much – even going to the grocery is an adventure!

#Burger with Hair! π¨ Mmm mmm Good!
20 AugWent to #KFC and Michael tried this new #chicken ‘burger’ they are selling. The bread is just Food coloring. The stuff that looks like hair on top we THINK is fried pulled chicken? – He said it just tasted weird π Unfortunately, they put the Mayo on TOP of the bun to hold on the fried stuff, so eating it was hilarious. ππππ Yum!

#Tech Smart – Using #Didi in China
11 AugSUCCESS! I finally tried using #Didi for the first time this week! In the US, we have #uber but China has a program called #Didi as their alternative. π
I really enjoyed it actually! You put in your pick-up spot and destination. It finds a driver and tells you how long till they arrive, a map tracking their car coming to you, their license plate #, and a car description (i.e. black Toyota). They pick you up, take you to the destination, trigger the receipt – it is automatically paid for via #alipay or #wechat and you rate their service.
By the grace of God they Actually now have an #English versionof the app which lets you type the names of places in English or #Pinyin. Super convenient!!
I do so love #tech advancements π

#EXO has come to join the party!
8 Augπ€’The boys are back in town!’π΅ πMy free souvenir from Nature’s Republic in #Korea – two of the singers from the #cpop band #EXO. I only knew Lay, and that’s because he’s always on KFC stuff in #China. π Fit perfect with my piano music box, right! .β€ Now they can join my #JYJ (#jaejoong #junsu #yoochun) collection!

New #China Phone Number!
5 AugCool news my darlings!
Today I finally got my new phone number for Changchun. No, I’m not telling you what it is π Β But at least I managed to get it all on my own without help from my company!
For the last 3 years, I have been a loyal customer of #ChinaMobile – one of the three largest phone companies in the nation (the other two are China Unicom and China Telecommunications). Β When I first came to China, China Mobile had a definite stronghold on the market, but since then the other two have come a long way. Β Still, I have had a good run with the company. Β
