In Shanxi, noodle is the main day-to-day food. Rice is a less preferred option.
This is something made from buckwheat.
Lunch at 1+pm, because yesterday was a good day on lunar calendar and many “good”places in town were fully occupied for wedding banquets. It was also because departure was delayed an hour and I arrived late.
scene outside of factory
After lunch it snowed for 2 minutes–some teeny tiny snow.
The whole town looked pretty bleak, especially in winter.
This is the second time I was there. Good part of this place is all the genuine old houses and constructions, which makes one feel like traveling back in time.
The bad part–well…the “nada-ness” depresses me.
0 degree at lunch hour but it didn’t feel cold. Air was refreshing as there is less humidity in it.
Also because I wasn’t at all exposed to the outdoors: car–restaurant–car–factory–car–airport.
My equipments: pantyhose, pants, leg-warmers and padded boots,padded jacket over 3 layers of clothes+scarf+gloves.
It was a pretty efficient day for me. Staying over-night there would have been a horrible idea.

Regular sunday, between nap and tv series I played my new game of experimenting different color for eye shadows.
I don’t have enough material on hand for the creation of a gothic or grunge image. Photographer doesn’t have the right spot either.
Will do it again some other day. The rest of the week and the coming one will be quite busy ones.
My super long black scarf can be wrapped into a proper outfit.
Screaming red scarf bought at the entrance of a metro station for rmb 10.
My every single attempt of taking the metro rather than taxi in the hope of saving a few Kuai always ended up a failed skeme. Those “bling bling” at the metro entrance always cost me more than what I would have spent on the taxi. (but I guess you can’t blame me for trying…)
Eye shadow includes: black, dark grey, brown, dark green and silver.

My fucking recurring dreams about being on top of a tottering building/tower or a high mountain without support never stop. This time it comes 3 nights on end. Probably that’s why I have developed an acrophobia.
Does it have to do with my recently growing strong sense of underachievement or a sign of insecurity?!!

I.Smoky eyes are in trend. Finally the dark circles around my eyes found a cause for their existence!
Now I am waiting for puffy eye bags to be in trend too.
Men have a 2 days no-shave style that supposedly make them look sexy, maybe someday a lack-of-sleep look for women would become sexy too?
Until then I better try to keep my new year resolution—go to bed before 11 pm.
II. So happy finally got through with the car inspection issue today. Expiry date 2011 Nov. No fine, nothing.
When the lady handed me the paper I turned away immediately and signaled for Gordo:”Walk faster.(before they called us back…)”
The guy ahead of us expired half a year and his new license only last till March this year. He has to come back in March, pay again and do another inspection. Yes I eavesdropped. I was afraid, no, almost sure the same would happen to us since we let it expire 2 years. Some shit luck. ?
On the way back bought some M&M for the good mood. I know it sound stupid but I do wonder if people pick colors when they eat M&Ms. I do, the sequence is brown—orange—red—yellow—green/blue.
So I sent gordo a message. He asked if I care to put them in alphabetical order.
Hey but I am not blond?!

The evening we set up for dinner&drink had to be the coldest one ever. On top of that it was drizzling all night.
Pretty Franny and her gift
shared yogurt
popular dessert (Had to reorder 2 times), but I didn’t have any because it’s “too sweet”. (Yes there is such a thing as “too sweet”. I choked on it once.)
I think this is romantic…
Thinking what to drink
Salsa night in Paddy
Jagerbomb
Easy on the Red Bull…I bet she only wants the bomb…
B52 for everyone. Burned my straw…
I didn’t take anything alcoholic the whole night except this one (My daiquiry doesn’t count, it’s all ice.)
3am back in Clifford–my donkey was waiting for me.
Took Jenny home by the lake, rainy and freezing.
I’ve been wondering why my tailbone hurts these days until that night Jenny screamed–:”I think I just lost my butt~~” and I suddenly realized it’s from crossing the bumpers on my scooter.
And my lower back hurts from trying to pull it to stop each time I had to park.
