Settling In
06.15.2007 0 °F
Erik and I are finally starting to get settled. I have finished my first full week of work and so far am enjoying my job. Erik also has been working a couple hours a week for a teaching company and will be getting full time hours soon. We both love our apartment. Right now, we are sharing it with a friend who was on the China trip last year. In a couple weeks, two more of our friends will be coming and crashing with us until they can find their own place. We're excited to see everybody again!
We owe finding our apartment to our Chinese friends LeeJun and Benjamen. They spent many hours with us going to apartment agents and talking with them since our limited Chinese would have made it almost impossible to get an apartment on our own.
We've been eating at a lot of different resturants around Shanghai. At Hot Pot, we all tried pig brains, which was actually not too bad.
We also went to a Sichuan resturant. Sichuan food is one of our favorite types of Chinese foods.
We have more pictures in our photo gallery, check it out!
We also made a movie of our apartment for all to watch. Enjoy!

OK.. the video is absolutely hilarious. You guys have to put a new video up every week. That was the most entertaining thing I have seen in weeks. Amara, you would never know you are old enough to drink.. lol. You are like a little girl on her first day of school. So Excited! It's a cute little place. Nice to see Erik hasn't changed his hygiene habits. The room is still a mess. LOL. I am so happy that things are going very well and that you guys are settling in. It is wonderful to see you acclimating to your surroundings and situation. It is so hard to go to a foreign place and get lost in all of it, but it helps if you can forget your western roots and celebrate the culture around you. I couldn't be happier for you two. 獲得樂趣并且享用。 慶祝生活!
