Two weeks? Wow, it really has been two weeks. Unfortunately, I still can’t order food on my own most of the time. Picture menus!
Another lazy day. Woke up at noon, made some instant noodles for lunch, and furiously updated this blog. Have you noticed? =P
Of course, no week can be complete without multiple visits to Carrefour, and once again, I went grocery shopping there. Finally got a wok! After Carrefour, I decided to cook some rice and some of the Chinese sausage that my cousin brought me from Guangzhou. I underestimated how much rice I made, but I ate it all anyways. Hopefully, I didn’t undercook the Chinese sausage, because I had a massive headache right after I ate. It was so bad that I couldn’t concentrate on studying for my Chinese test. I took a nap to see if it would go away, and when at woke up at 2:00 AM, it did mostly subside. I studied for a couple of hours and then went back to sleep.
Twelve years. That was how long it had been since I last visited China. After twelve years, I finally saw my cousin Joe again.
The day started slowly. I was exhausted from the week and probably still a bit jet lagged, so I slept in. I woke up around noon and finally decided to head out and find Canon’s repair center here in Shanghai. Luckily for me, it was easy to find. There was an entrance to the Yalong International Plaza, where it was located, from the Metro station. My wish came true when I found out almost everyone there working for Canon speaks English. Canon couldn’t tell me what was wrong with my camera without having their engineers look at it, so I left my camera with them. At the very least, the repair will cost 420 RMB if they don’t have to replace any parts. Unfortunately, I read that the type of error I got was likely a main board failure, which means I will need a replacement part of some sort. Bummer.
