Yay for stairs.
9 kilometers of stairs climb to get to the very top. Dude, being in China has made me out of shape. I felt so tired at the end. Everyone wanted to ride the cable car, but I was game to walk back down, but people said it was going to be dark soon. So I rode the cable car back. I made it to the top, sort of... a few more stairs to go, but it's not as hard.
View from the top.
My family's name in Chinese. Dad, mom, me, sis.
Wishing your family luck.
Me locking the lock at the very top of the mountain with the other locks. Maybe I'll come back someday and find it again.

Thanksgiving

Okay, this is a horrible picture of me, but it's a good picture of Heineken shirt I bought in Shanghai. It says Heineken on one side and "Tennis Masters Cup 2005" on the other.
OMG, it was so cold that night. And Garfield gave every guest a plate and long stem rose.
Thanksgiving was awesome, but I did feel like I was about to explode and die because I got full really quick.

Shanghai Tennis pics

Yeah, Federer's so much better looking in person. Before, I didn't really see it, but now, I see it. When his hair isn't as long, he looks much better. Actually, most tennis guys would look much better if their hair wasn't as long.
