Short on time right now, so all I'll say is:
There was a guy who I met on the train ride from Beijing to Nanjing. He could speak pretty good English, and even though we only talked for a couple hours, for some reason, I just cannot stop thinking about him. We exchanged email addresses and have sent a couple emails to each other since. In my last email, I mentioned how I might want to visit Wuxi (the city he works in) at some point, since it's nearby and it's one of China's fast developing cities. When checking my email earlier today, I got this message from him:
欢迎你来无锡玩，我周末都休息，如果你来请提前联系我，我可以当你的导游，呵呵!
你的性格非常好，很乐观，尤其是你甜甜的笑，给我留下了非常深刻的印象。
我的手机号码是---------，有空可以发短信或者电话联系。
(And I only had to look up 3 words to understand this. Woohoo! ^^;)
Rough trans: If you want to come to Wuxi, on the weekends I'm always free. If you contact me beforehand, I could act as your tour guide. You have a very good personality, very optimistic (?). You left a deep impression on me, especially your sweet-sounding laugh. My cell number is --------, if you have time, send me a text or give me a call.
OMGGGGGGGGGG. I CAN'T STOP SMILING, YOU GUYS. It's weird... maybe I really am the type to be so won over just because a guy throws a few compliments my way. Am I pathetic for getting so attached to someone after only talking them for a couple hours? And to think about him a lot just because he said he thinks I'm cute? =_____=;;
IN LESS EMBARRASSING NEWS: just came back from Chengdu, which was *such* an experience. Got drunk more times this last week than I did all of last semester. (But unlike my friends, I suffered no vomiting or hangovers, and even had enough sense to avoid hooking up with some really, really desperate Chinese guys. I made getting shitfaced look classy, haha.) Also, I saw pandas and the largest Buddha in the world. More on this later, maybe. ^^;
