27th. Last day in China!

A chilled out day overall, met with a friend for lunch and walked around some shops some more.
****I forgot to mention that yesterday at Silk Street, to get the proper designer knock-offs, the shop sales people will ask if you want Louis Vuitton or Gucci bags when you walk past. And if you say yes, then they will lead you downstairs into the basement level, past the grotty canteen into a fenced off area. Where they will sit you down and give you catalogues of designer bags to flick through and they will get whichever one you want from some back storage room. Illegal China at its best...****
It was entertaining seeing the knock-off DSes and accessories for Nintendo Wu!
Erg, it's going to be weird going back to England.. Rahrahrah. Floating. But it will be great to see some people again.. I hope~!

Things I will miss

• Green Tea Frappucino, baby.
• Cheap public transport. Cheap clothes. Cheap food. Cheap ice lollies.
• Cheap texts!
• THE SHOPPING.
• Couchsurfing and touring friends!
  
• Haggling. And doing a damn good job of it.
• No responsibilities, duties, stress.
• Supermarkets. They sell so much stuff!
• Engrish.
  

Things I will not miss

• The heat and what accompanies it (sweating mostly)
• The People (most of them). They are rude, disgusting, inconsiderate, pervy, judgemental, arrogant etcetcetc.
• Not getting drinking water out of a tap.
• Patio Pizza. Utter. Fail.
• Unhelpful taxi drivers.
• Having the same conversation with all the new people I meet.

One thing I have learnt this trip is that I am very lucky to have been brought up in England, as compared to most similar ages people here, I am very much better off. So.. yay to that. And I guess I plan to further exploit this, as the idea of working for a UK/US company that has located in China is very appealing indeed. I've decided to try and learn to speak some of the local dialects, namely Sichuan and Shaanxi so I don't sound foreign when I visit these provinces and won't get ripped off ~_~

Another thing I have noticed is a fad with the korean culture. Korean hairstyles, korean music, korean food, korean make up etcetc. Fuckinnnn everywhereee. Korean is the new Kawaii.

I took 826 photos.. Well those are the ones that are on facebook. I actually took around 1200. 400 or so deleted. Ouchies. Had so much fun with my camera this trip though :)

IN CONCLUSION. I have grown somewhat. hmm yes.
FIN.
