it just happened yesterday wtf

I slept in I think???????? Jessica and Molly had plans to go to Jinli and I was like fuck yeah so we got up and ate breakfast, then went to Jinli.

We took a taxi from xiaobeimen; it was relatively close. It's always nice to see another side of Chengdu. All I ever really see is stuff close to the campus, which isn't the most exciting in terms of actual city life.

Because of traffic, we didn't get off at actual Jinli, which was good, because we went to tons of shops along the way.

Some had turtles.

Others had cool bone carved stuff or whatever.

And etcetc.

And then we finally got to Jinli itself.

It was hot that day. And we saw a lot of cool things. Jessica and Molly bought some kick-ass souvenirs; I bought one bookmark (I THOUGHT I HAD GOTTEN MORE THAN THAT BUT IDK)

I'm glad I went because we got to pace ourselves really nicely and got to choose tons of stuff to give as gifts. We also just had a good time shopping. ALSO, it was just really hot and we laughed about the hotness and WE SAW. A DAIRY QUEEN.

First time I've seen one in China. And you bet all your financial assets that I got an Oreo blizzard.

It was 21 kuai for this tiny cup of blizzard but it was so delicious. They turned it upside down when serving too so it was legit. It was so good. Best purchase while there for sure, holy shit.

We headed back, and I talked to friends before napping. I had a weird dream and then woke up awkwardly (gdi) and we went to get shuijiao outside of xiaobeimen. Didn't take pics because dude. They're just shuijiao.

I got xianrou and yangrou and both were good. 12 dumplings total, so I was still hungry. After we were done, we got the danzai; I got original flavour and 雙皮奶 which was a pudding and not a milk tea as I had suspected. It was delicious and I was very happy and it had red bean and top and was just a happy.

Then I think we fucked around with homework until sleep. It was pretty bad I think lol
