Sorry folks, not much to blog about. It rained all weekend and I got a haircut, which depending on your definition, may or might not be a mullet.
It’s not exactly what I wanted (who wants a mullet?) but I am going to live with it for a while. Although I’m not sure I want anyone to see it, I will probably be posting pics in the next week or so.
I’m leaving for Shanghai this evening to begin my two week holiday. On Monday evening I will pick up Cuñada from the airport (cuñada being Spanish for sister-in-law) and we will indulge in three days of shopping in Shanghai before meeting up with the DH in Yangshuo for a weekend retreat on the Li river. It will likely rain everyday but oh well. Then a five day stay in Hong Kong and possibly Macau will complete the good times.
You know how I am about blogging while traveling – terrible! But I will try. 
I hope I try more than my credit card companies! You know how you’re supposed to call them before every little trip so they don’t think you’re committing fraud by <gasp> actually using your card? Well, I have three credit cards. Every single one of them is down for “maintenance” and why don’t I try calling back after 10AM Eastern time?

I hate it when my credit card companies do that. I informed them when I moved here of my move and they still shut my credit cards down every time I make a purchase. It’s so annoying. And then it’s always a pain to call because they don’t have a number that isn’t a 1-800 number.

Yup! My problem, too! I tell them constantly that I live in China, but they just don’t care! I hate them!
Thoroughly jealous!! I’m sure if you find a punk rock joint, the mullet will definitely bring a good amount of street cred. Enjoy your trip!
One of the other Americans at work saw me yesterday and the first thing he said was, “Whoa, punk, huh?” Yea, I’m not exactly punk rock, but I can pose… It’s gonna be hard to come back to Linyi – you know what I mean! Keep McDonald’s in order for me!
I want to see the Mullet! You should just tight perm the back to make the look complete.
Have you seen the perms they do in this country? My hair doesn’t need that look on top of what I already got. Don’t worry, I’m sure pics will be forthcoming!!
