Just the usual

In our little Xiaolan after teaching’s at bay, you 

might often wonder what we do here all day!

I would finish this post with all sorts of rhymes, 

but frankly I'm too lazy, and don't care to take the time...

Enjoy!

We get facials, as painful, and relaxing as they are. They spend some time picking your face which kills, then the rest is very relaxing. I'll regret posting this picture as will my friends because we look atrocious, but it was a fun memory. :)

Sometimes we get all dolled up and ready for no reason at all.  (Probably because it happens literally never. so we're deprived.)

And we go to our favorite mall (Da fu Yen) and have dinner at the new restaurants we find!

We eat our favorite peanut butter dumplings (steamed dumplings dipped in peanut butter sauce) for only 5 Yuan almost daily. So heavenly. 

We get full body massages. They're not the nice relaxing kind, oh no.. They're extremely painful and not relaxing in the slightest. Why do we do these things you ask? Well, because I never have and I never will again so why not now! 

We go to beautiful parks....

And swing on the cute decorations! :) 

And hang upside down of course. Until a man comes over and tells us not to....

We go to Zhu hai underground market and shop, buying tons of cheap DVD's we found at this one store with every movie around. Buy all disney movies for my future children? I think yes.  Oh and meanwhile we find tiny, fluffy bunnies on the way there. 

We sit at our favorite smoothie place, (which we go to a plethora of times) and decide whose hair color looks good on who. The consensus was, blonde looks good on me. Thus the blond highlights I so bravely got. 

And the brown hair Maddie is getting right now! 

We get washy washes (hour long hair washes/head, neck, arms, back massages/blow dry and style) all the time because they're so darn cheap, and make tons of friends in the process! 

We find strange little Asian characters and take pictures with them. 

We always manage to find cute babies and take pictures with them. Always. 

We come to this river across Fu Hua hotel on our way to church and take pictures! 

And we do each others hair in cool ways we find on pinterest. 

We get foot massages!

And dip our feet in steaming hot water and herbs....

While they massage our backs. Very painfully..  

We go to movies! Ok we only did this once and we saw the new Bourne movie. It was pretty fun. 

So basically it comes down to this: At least some of us go to Da fu Yen EVERY day. We eat smoothies all the time, we pamper ourselves very frequently, and we do our hair and eat food. :) Now you know the secret of our daily lives.
