Let me tell you what I am having the biggest problem with in China. Food. I know, it sounds so ridiculous, but if you think about it, food is important! Like, you die without it! So, no more mocking me. The reason it's stresses me out so bad is because I don't know what to eat. I'll eat the food here, but most of it I haven't enjoyed, and thus would not order of my own free will and choice. At the grocery store all the labels are in Chinese and have little cartoon animals on them, making it impossible to tell what you are actually purchasing. Right now I wish I knew as much Chinese as I knew Spanish, and my espanol was a little limited. (at least I knew how to say 'bathroom'. The other day I had about 20 Chinese people around me trying to figure out what I was saying.. Matt... you shouldn't leave me on my own like that!)
Anyways, to the point of this post... food stresses me out, but I have found an 'emergency' eatery (eat this when all else fails, or special occasions). Yesterday we went to Dicos. We had never heard of it, so we assume that it's a Chinese fast food chain. Wild! Man, I was so happy. We got ice cream, and french fries and Matt's chicken sandwich even came on a bun! I only specify because mine did not come on a bun, in the typical sense of the word. Mine had a rice patty. I didn't even realize from the picture, but sure enough, it was sticky rice formed into a bun! It was the craziest thing ever and Matt and I laughed really hard. But it was pretty good actually!
PS I don't really know if my posts lately have made any sense. My apologies. And also, I can see pictures now! You can stop all the worrying I know you were doing.

Ah man, Kristal! I tried to warn you, remember? I tried!
It's hard to eat there. I got used to it fast though & you figure out what you do and don't like. That place looks cool though. I never heard of it!
You need to post more! I miss you peeps like mad! Are you able to see our picks or should I figure out how to email you?
Glad you finally found a place you can eat. Was it expensive? You need to have Hooked on Phonics in Chinese..Bathroom is the first word I would have to learn (:
