I used to like Craig David

I haven't posted in a few days since I've been really busy here at work in China. I get up at 7AM, generally work till 8PM or later, go home and do some homework for school and go to sleep at 11 or so!

So a few quick notes:
- The Chinese people are all generally very friendly. They are eager to talk to you in English and like to practice other languages. They also appreciate the broken Mandarin I speak back to them from my handy dandy lonely planet guide
- Haven't eaten too many exotic things since the hot pot I tried last weekend. We did go to this hole in the wall Chinese place called "Jo Mama" or something like that. The food was great and 6 of us are for under $20 including drinks! Plus there was a ton of leftovers.
- My hotel restaurant, where I generally eat breakfast, only seems to have one CD that they play on a loop. I think it's the best of Craig David. Now I used to like "Fill me in" and all those other songs but after hearing them every morning since Saturday, my patience has expired!
- I haven't mustered up enough courage to try Chinese breakfast yet. They have all these dumplings and noodles at the buffet but they labels are not very insightful so I don't want to bite into some mystery meat!
- This Saturday I'm going to some mountains near Beijing and on Sunday we hit up the great wall! Can't wait.
