rain
I love when it rains here. It just cools everything down so much. It's monsoon season, but I don't know for how much longer. It rained just about the whole day yesterday, and today stayed a very agreeable temperature. It's strange to walk around at night, though, and be weirded out because it feels so cold.
One day last week we went to the brewery/beer garden of Shenzhen's local beer, Kingway, with some teacher's from Scottish Chris' school. (Kingway is pretty popular, of course, and they sponsor the local soccer team. I went to see them play my first week here. they are called the Shenzhen Kingway. haha.) they were all cool, but sometime later in the night, one of the teachers called me a gui lao, the term for foreigner, or white person. I, not used to this kind of treatment, scoffed in shock. He then suggested that I was a banana. haha. so they use this term in china too?
I tried to keep this post short and sweet for you, vicki. good enough?
