Ximending.

After I got myself together I headed out to explore. I decided to wing it and jump on the MRT(metro) to Ximen/Ximending. But before that i stopped into Watsons! yay i missed you. So I was a bit nervous about taking the MRT but of course it was easy, convenient, and clean. The single ticket is actually a small plastic coin (so easy to lose) you scan it on the way in and put it in the slot on your way out. I'll just get a Easy Pass (smarttrip/passmo) thing next time. I forgot how everyone actually waits in line to get on the train. So orderly, no cutting or pushing, well except for a couple of old grannies.

Ximending is like a mini-shibuya. A land of fly-factors, skinny bitches, general sexiness, and OMG cute clothes. I wanted to cry it was so nice. So much clothes, so many shoes, so many cute boots. Like those white doc martens, yeah I'm getting those. Bootleg naturally, because yeah that's just how I roll. I went up into the Anna Sui section of a dept. store and almost cried again. So many pretty things. Big puri-kuri place, BUT no babies to take pictures with:( I walked around for a good long while, hitting up the "major" alleys and the like. Of course I will be taking many more trips down there, today was kinda lame because of all the rain. It is probably really awesome on the weekend/nights. I need to find a spot to do some serious ppl watching.
Anyways I decide to head back and got a bit turned around. No biggie. So I make it back and head downstairs to the common area to try an be social. A couple of people and I went to dinner where i had "goose fingers" which i think was actually duck. Anyways it was a set plate with rice, bamboo, and veggies. I forgot to take a picture though. Anyways, now I'm back here and I'm really sleepy, but I'm trying to make it to at least 10. Yeah I've been up since 4am. sigh i really hate jetlag. Um blogger hates me uploading things so go here: http://www.facebook.com/album.php?aid=2029787&l=bd4bd&id=115200202
