Oh good, Alien 2pac made it

Hmmm. These guys are strange. But it was nice of alien #2pac to stop by. Wonder if he is a popular rapper on three-eyed planet. . . . or is alien 2pac actually a boy-band crooner instead . . . . The questions this little guy raises.

Movie Night!

Gathers the shells AND holds your phone! The all-around perfect movie night companion!

Actually, #sunflower seeds are REALLY popular as a snack here in #China – my students always bring a ton to movie night 😜

The Jelly Mystery

The #German Metro #market has every jelly known to man (plum, prune, marmelade, strawberry, apple, blackberry, raspberry. . . . )  All of them EXCEPT Grape! The one I like.  The one that is EVERYWHERE in America but the #Chinese have never heard of.  I miss grape jelly! PBJ is not the same without it. 😭  Met a guy from the #Netherlands the other day, he had never heard of grape jelly either.  What is wrong with the world! 😱 Grape jelly is a staple! A foundational part of biscuits and #breakfast!

#Strawberry ‘Betterfiles’

Tastes #Divine!  Small restaurant in the new CityOn Mall in #Zhengzhou called “Strawberry Forever”  —  all the deserts are strawberry! 🍓 

Zhengzhou is really growing recently – the #Mall is HUGE and has #Forever21 #Zara #sephora and more.  So nice and lovely! 

The #Chinese #Dollhouse 😂

​I’ve been sick today so I was playing on Taobao and found these adorable/hilarious dollhouse items. If You’ve ever lived in China you’d know how accurate these images are 😂 Down to the cheap Chinese prngle alternatives (they look exactly like that!), cooke tins, and Green tea Oreo knockoffs 😄. I’ve been Coke Zero free for more than a month, but those bottles are so funny.  And the fanta soda.  😂

Liquor for a dollhouse! 😂

International #Shopping fun! – Cat bed

Haha! 😂 I want this for myself.  This is Awesome – and only $27 on Taobao! (189¥).  I think the tail is the pillow!

Girls’ Day Out

Mom and daughter street shopping in Gangnam, Seoul, South Korea. I also liked this combination of shops–very Korean. The fans are all stunning, and I love the little animal hats on the right!

Dizzying Phone Cases

This wasn’t the only shop like this on the street! Never have I seen this many phone cases on one shopping street.
