We made it! I officially conclude the fifth semester in
Shanghai. I’m not gonna do bunch of shout
outs this time cause I did a round of those recently so let me just thank to
all of you reading this thing. Specifically to those who let me know here and
there... Kinda makes me feel I’m not
talking to a mirror (even though I totally do that still) and whatever bullshit
I spill here is worth a while to someone. During my time off, I’ll think whether to expand this blog
a little bit... I received some feedback and I have
some ideas too... So maybe you’ll
get like some playlist here and there, or some veggie shit... How to live in
Shanghai like a fucking king spending 10 RMB on food per day or some shit
like that... Or maybe I won’t do
any of that. Guess we just wait and see...
So yeah, last year was mostly making sure I get all of my
shit in order so it doesn’t stack
up much during my absence –
although I’m fucking sure it will. I also hung out with some of my peers in Minhang (it’s been a while), downtown, did some
bike rides, went to my Chinese classes, got a haircut, visited some cool spots... You know... Living the life.
I ended up Daliah and Barules (some real good hig-end shit) on Monday, and the day after I tried this Super Vegan restaurant in a mall in Xujiahui.
It’s still fuck malls but the food was awesome. Pretty affordable, lots of top notch mock meat, tasty as hell. On
Wednesday, the gang met up at this Muslim restaurant at Yuyuan Road. I’ve literally passed the place
hundreds of times but never been in. Even though they work with lotta meat,
their veggie options are quite impressive and super tasty. And they don’t take this Islam thing too
seriously, as they sell pretty good and cheap beer. We took it to My Place
after that.
I also managed to make it Dean’s
Bottle Shop at Shaoxing Road on Thursday. Prices are quite high for a beer shop
(basically 40 RMB for a bottle of anything) but they do have some solid
selection. I got stuck on this stout with coffee and bourbon which was absolute
flames.
Today, I met up with everyone at the restaurant at
Huaihai/Wanping Road for a lunch, we totally order way more than needed, but it
was a killer as usual. Even got some leftovers home cause I refused to waste
that much food. So yeah, that’s
pretty much it. Gonna go see the gang once more later in the evening but this
one’s gonna be short. Still got shit to
do, still haven’t really packed, and my
fucking plane is leaving Shanghai tomorrow morning. That’s why you’re
getting this motherfucker on Saturday, ya dig? And you know the drill. Your boy taeb is
going dark for the next three weeks as he’s gonna
be dipping his tatted-up vegan ass deep in the Pacific Ocean, eating tropical
fruits, changing lives and all that shit. But don’t you
worry, in about a month, we gonna kick-off semester 6. We have way more things to experience, way more situations to get into, way more shit to fuck up... The game is not over – this is
merely an intermission. One!
Highlights:
- Got asked to do Linkedin promotion for my uni for the second year in a row. Dunno why but here we go!
- Future’s and James Blake’s new albums. Haven’t really gave them the attention they deserve but they both sound super dope on the first listen.
- Fiji. Tomorrow. See y’all!
