Exams done!

The final exams are over, so I am freeeeee!
Last oral exam was yesterday

I was walking around shaking all day because I was so nervous!
I felt nauseous, I was sweating, and felt like I had the stomach flu.
It was almost like I'd been eating bad jiaozi

But on the bright side, now I have vacation until we leave for China in two months!
Excited much, oh yes I believe so!

Cheers, and have a nice summer!

Second payment craze!

The second part of the total payment for my China trip has now been made, which means there's only one thing left to do before i travel to China once more: find out what the hell I need to pack!
It sounds so simple, right?
But when you're in a state of complete euphoria, all the practical stuff that comes along with traveling sort of loses it's appeal. And I am also in the middle of my exams, so that means even less time to consider anything at all. Which means that I am absolutely at loss with what I need to do to prepare myself for the trip in August.

First things first, what do I need to pack?
Two things to take in to consideration while packing:

-I will definitely need clothes that fits the warm weather (Beijing and Shanghai are like saunas for Scandinavians!)

-I will definitely also need clothes that are compatible with the weather, but covers enough so that I won't get raped...

This calls for a round of shopping, perhaps I'll stop by H&M tomorrow. Sadly, my hard earned money just went to making the second payment, so I'll have to live on pasta with ketchup for the rest of the month... Oh dear it's going to be a long month...


As a way of handling the long wait for my departure, I have been gawking at pictures from the last trip. Thought I'd just put some in this post for the giggles, hope you enjoy :)









The bottle opener building in Shanghai,
also the highest buidling in China







My lovely, or not so lovely darling Andreas,
always goofing around




Bar Rouge:
First and last time Amanda and I went to a club during that trip.
I honestly need to realize that I am not a
clubbing person.
Though the drinks were good






Late night trip to both Burger King
and MackyD's




Chillin' at the bottle openers cafe, very expensive food that needed to be documented





Our trip to Huanshang Mountain.
Exhausting, but so worth it




Not going to miss the horribly long journeys by bus though





Nor will I miss the sticks, though I think I got quite
good at using them after a while.
Who am I kidding; I was a freaking ninja with those things!




The amazing class that made the whole trip wortwhile.
Though it can get very tiring being so far away from home,
while sticking out like a sore thumb, I can proudly say
that these people are still very close to my heart,
despite the fact that we got on each others nerves somemtimes.


So, China, here we come!
