Quick entry before bed:
But bubble tea costs $1. In other words, it's really interesting to see how prices of different things vary here. I can get an extremely filling and carefully made meal for under $5 (and most of the time under $3) but cranberries, those usually neglected fruits that only really grace the table at Thanksgiving, fetch an exorbitant $20 a pound. That's like the price of truffles, the fungus and the chocolate. Madness.
In other news, I'm starting to recognize characters, but I always make a fool of myself by being too excited about it. Probably should tone that down.
We watched Anchorman with Chinese subtitles, and it's really funny to see the slight differences in language that yield such a different experience. I think that maybe, the movie isn't even very funny in Chinese. But I also might just not understand the cultural standards of humor.
Good night.
