No internet at home, so I'm in an internet bar now.
First a little story. I was just relazing at home today when this lady came to my house. She said that one of my neighbors had told her I play guitar. At this point I was a bit worried because I do tend to make a lot of noise. But she went on to say that CCTV is in town doing auditions for the next music competition (Chinese Idol???) and wanted me to come down for an audition. I told her I was busy and couldn't so she gave me her number and told me to call her back about the next audition. She explained it has a 10 yuan entry fee, but if I win my fame and fortune would easily make up for it. So what do you think, should I give it a go? I seriously doubt I could win seeing as how I can't sing Chinese songs, but if I made it past the first couple rounds I'd be on Chinese TV. Then people would stare at me even more on the street.
Before that happened I took a few shots of my new area. Sorry, I forgot to take pictures of my house...
My apartment is the last on the left, first floor.
At night this is covered with BBQ you eat on the street. Great stuff.
The local music shop I go to. I met a drummer there today.
The neighborhood market.
Good place to go if your cheap and lazy.
All you folks from Japan should know this place! Yes, a Jusco just opened. I went there today and was to excited by the things they had. Things like granola, and pancake mix. I was nearly drooling on the packages.
Jusco- ha! We're taking over the world!
