China Pastebin Monday #1

Thoughts on China after being here for 24 hours:

-Food is not as bad as i expected.  I hope that this continues.
-They have coffee (its so-so) im surprised
-traffic is horrendous and there have been multiple accidents within earshot or sight of me since i have been here (on the way from the airport and on the way to the office this morning)
-we get weekends which is nice, were going back into shanghai this weekend so i will get to be a tourist
-the organizers of our training are nice (also most of them are european)
-internet speeds are trash EVERYWHERE (probably because they all go through the great firewall of china)
-Everything is dirt cheap, taxis cost 2 dollars to go ANYWHERE in the city
-i have a sick hotel room, it has one of those fancy showers with a head built into the wall and the ceiling
-chinese news has an english channel
-bottled water is much more obtainable than i thought it would be
-i cant communicate with anyone here besides the 4 north americans and a few of the europeans
-the largest ethnic group in our training is indian and they all speak very softly and i can hardly understand anything they say


other things
-im gonna miss e3 completely (although it doesnt sound like im missing much lol)
-im gonna miss game of thrones for 3 WEEKS
-im missing overwatch already
-i am gonna get to watch a lot more anime (already watched 20 episodes on the plane)
-i miss being on a time zone that there are people online (i have to get up at like ass oclock to talk to people on mumble)
