Sort of.<\/p>\n<p>I mentioned before that we were delayed at the airport for over half a day (which wasn&#8217;t too bad, just kind of boring), but after that extended period of waiting, everything else seemed to happen in a flash. A really long irritating flash.<\/p>\n<p>After arriving, I took a nap. It was very disorientating (I also hadn&#8217;t slept for about&#8230; thirty hours. I&#8217;m a bad child, I know). Fortunately, I brought a mask. As well as allergy medicine. So I could breathe. AKA lessons learnt from last summer.<\/p>\n<p>We went to a restaurant (the first of many) with our uncles and aunts and Lulu and Mimi. I would post pictures but I&#8217;m not sure if they would appreciate it, so the only photos included in this post will be of either food or buildings. Anyways. I don&#8217;t think I ate much (or at all), but I sort of socialized. In a sleepy way. After that, the people under 23 years of age went to get frozen yogurt. For the record, rose-flavoured yogurt tastes like school washroom hand soap, which I have tasted on occasion.<\/p>\n<p>The rest of the days kind of flowed together (frequent stomachaches, headaches, a fever?, lots of taxi rides, passing out on Mimi&#8217;s couch, restaurants&#8230;, homework). Lulu&#8217;s dad took us to Yangzhou halfway through, which was both Very Tiring and Very Fun. We went to a bunch of gardens and stuff. I took some pictures as well (see below).<\/p>\n<p>I went to an arcade with Mimi and Lulu after eating hot pot (well, there was Gloria and Gabey too, of course), which was extremely enjoyable. However, I&#8217;ve had enough of restaurants to last at least a full year. 8|<\/p>\n<p>I&#8217;ll add pictures and facts as we go, then~<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/www.yinzhuohan.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/08\/2015-07-20-17.28.38.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\" size-large wp-image-4514 alignnone\" src=\"http:\/\/www.yinzhuohan.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/08\/2015-07-20-17.28.38-768x1024.jpg\" alt=\"2015-07-20 17.28.38\" width=\"640\" height=\"853\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.yinzhuohan.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/08\/2015-07-20-17.28.38-768x1024.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.yinzhuohan.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/08\/2015-07-20-17.28.38-225x300.jpg 225w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 640px) 100vw, 640px\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p>A picture of the view from our room, which had a nice&#8230; aesthetic.
