Too Much Has Happened
...or maybe not.
Yangshuo
Jennifer, her two friends Ana and Jean, and I went to Yangshuo, China...it's a small city on the outskirts of Guilin. I don't have time to write about it, but I'll post up pictures soon. Here are some quotes I wrote down:
Quote 1:
Angela: Does money even work here?
Jennifer: No, they barter. How much can I get for my Watson's water?
Quote 2:
(On train upon seeing someone with food and thinking we won't get food for 13 hours.)
A: What are we going to do?! I'll show you my boobs!
Quote 3:
A: I have a huge butt rash.
J: They have a baby at West Lily (hostel). Maybe you can borrow their diaper rash.
Quote 4:
J: I'm glad we're here.
(5 min. later)
J: Angela, I'm glad Mommy instilled in us a love of traveling.
A: Jennifer, can you stop with the deep thoughts? I'm trying to enjoy the scenery.
(Both laugh)
Quote 5:
(Jen needed to spit a loogi in our orange bag. After she spit:)
"The oranges are like 'Oh no! Don't spit, I'm still here.'"
Quote 6:
(Right before we were leaving Yangshuo, we kept buying oranges to give as gift to hostel to eat on bus.)
Angela: We're going to have a billion oranges and no money to go home.
Quote 7:
(We were on a full bus to go home and Jen kept saying how we only spent so much, but we still have money left over.)
J: OMG I still have SO much money left over.
A: OMG Can you stop announcing your financial situation?
J: Haha, now they're really going to jack us!
Quote 8:
(I was in a huge rush and accidentally called my own price for the bus, to which the driver happily agreed.)
A: How much?! How much?! FIFTEEN!??!
Driver: OK! OK! 15!!
A: Shoot.
Quote 9:
(Jennifer received a coconut purse as a gift from the people at the Ancient Totem Pole Path show for being in it, lol.)
J: Oh I know why my backpack is so huge; it's my stupid coconut purse.
Day Back From Yangshuo
CRAZY. That's all I have to say. Well, I went to a salon and a guy named Tick did my hair. I permed it wavy. Lol. Jennifer's friends said it looked really good, but I think it's a disaster. I look like a MOM.
The Vine 180 Retreat
I couldn't stop crying the moment I stepped into where they were worshipping. God is strong there. Jennifer's friend Allison prayed for me and prophesied...and it was ALL COMPLETELY ACCURATE! More pictures to come from the retreat, because if I wrote everything down, it would just take too long. All I have to say is GOD IS SO AMAZING AND SO REAL.
Other Comments:
1. I'm okay with disgusting, have-to-stoop-down-to-pee toilets now. I embrace 'em.
2. People in HK are crazy mean. People in Yangshuo were extremely friendly and went out of their way to help you. I missed it so much when I got back to HK - so different.
3. Hold on to good friends. This is important!
4. GOD IS AMAZING.
It's 3:54 am and I'm in Allison's dorm. I got kicked out of POLITELY from where I was living. L.O.L. That's also another story...hahahahahaha! I'm losing control and I LOVE IT!!!!! (God is teaching me!!)

In Hong Kong
Please stay tuned until after I leave Hong Kong for an update...!
Actually, until then, this is something really funny. I saw this on the bulletin board of the CUHK (Chinese University of Hong Kong) Grace Tien Hall Dorm, on one of the girls' floors:
"cup + grey bowl: I see it, u die! Plz leave it outside. 213_"
Hilarious.
By the way, CUHK is where my sister is studying as an exchange student. It's on a gigantic mountain and walking around campus is so tiring...on the plus side, the canteen food is amazing, and they have the best HK-style milk tea. Mmmmm.
Oh, and I met some of my sister's floormates and they are social work majors...and so hilarious. We cooked dinner together, ate, and talked. Sigh. And, of course, we talked about the boyfriends/guys/dating topic for the longest time! They're really dramatic about everything and so goofy.
I told them I was single, and they were like "WHAAAAAAAT?!" Lol, is that like some sort of sin or something? Hehe. I had a great time.
Lots of pictures to come after HK (December 20th). We're still going to Shenzhen, Guiling, Yangshuo, and South Korea. So, lots of pics.
