Hello friends, I just wanted to inform all of you who were worrying (or to remind you that you should have been worrying) that I have safely arrived to my destination in the Northeast of China: Harbin. I spent a thoroughly exhausting and socially crippling week touring Shanghai and Beijing, but -- except for a few extra flowers, a few more policemen, and new subway lines and cars in anticipation of some event they're holding later this summer (it seems important) -- I have nothing much to say about my time there to add to the last time I wrote you about it.
Currently I am busy with classes. All you currently need know is that the refrigerator in my room insists on one temperature (very cold), and thus I am not able to eat yoghurt for breakfast as it is frozen solid. This needs to be remedied.
EDIT: Refrigerator fixed. There is this magic thing called a 'knob'. It has instructions in English that go like this : MAX ---- MIN.

Awwww, you haven't been reading LJ! Actually, I've been planning to be in Beijing for the longest time, since like last fall so it was just considered common knowledge, haha. And it's on Facebook. But I knew you were going to be in Harbin! It's exciting, and I think I have family up there, but if I go visit my dad's side, it'll be in Shenyang and Changchun. Oh, wells. Come down to Beijing if you can! And if you're pretending to speak Chinese, then I'm... I don't know what. My cousin routinely looks at me sideways now, and corrects me for saying "flashlight"/shoudian insteead of "cellphone"/shouji. I'm such a loser.
Yeah, I think I'm not sure about how LJ will work... I wish I could post to my LJ and be like, "I'm not allowed to post here anymore!" But we'll see. I have technologized friends who can probably wrangle something. *crosses fingers* =D
