thinking, as always

3 random thoughts suddenly came to me today...

1) my China trip went ... pretty well despite me being stranded at airport and creepy bus dude. I think i went to China completely paranoid... after hearing everyone telling me to be careful about getting my stuff stolen so i basically hugged my purse everywhere i went. but actually i think i felt the hospitality of the Chinese people instead. although i was totally scared of a dude at the airport, he actually lent me his phone so that i could CALL the people who were supposed to pick me up. and although the security people looked mad sketchy, they let me charge my phone at the security "booth" and were very friendly people and they made me laugh a lot XD and then when i was walking around with my luggage to try to find a taxi to the airport, a lady tried to like sell me something i think but then i told her that i'm just going to the airport and she actually helped to direct me towards the main road. anyways i think you should still be careful of your stuff since i haave heard stories of things getting stolen but it's not like we should go everywhere being suspicious of people without seeing that they are actually loving as well :D

2) i am confused about bargaining... while i know a lot of people LOVE to bargain because it's like a game and you don't want to get ripped off but i also feel sort of bad... someone said to me that you take 10% of the price they say it is and start bargaining from there.. but i feel bad because i feel like they already don't earn that much and we're probably pretty well off to be able to travel to somewhere where we can even bargain.. and i feel like even though with a lower price they will still profit but it's not that much to begin? IDUNNO i think they shouldn't rip us off ridiculously but at the same time they probably don't earn THAT much?

3) summer is coming to an end! and i think i'm pretty excited about university.. living in a house with awesome people, taking courses that sound interesting haha, starting the school year FRESH! but summer has been good chilling with the people i hardly see during the school year!! i sort of can't imagine how to say goodbye.. for now
