Not only do I have my balcony curtains thrown wide open tonight again, but I have the windows open and I'm drinking in the cool night air by the pair-of-lungs-full. The weather is supposed to be turning cold again this weekend, so I'm enjoying it while I can!

Money spent on food today:

RMB 7

Celery/beef noodles down the street from the office for lunch.

RMB 0

Sweet popcorn that somebody brought into work.

RMB 11.5

Big gallon jug of water and four muffins.

RMB 12

Bowl of ramen in bone-marrow broth.

Five pan-fried dumplings.

RMB 6

Two cups of bubble milk tea, one for the fridge, one for tonight.

A total of RMB 36.5, about four and half dollars. About average for a noodle day.
