After returning back to Los Angeles, I had only a few days to stay and catch up with friends before my parents sent me on a trip to Shanghai to visit my brother. The trip was awesome, and I had the chance to explore all the hotspots of the city and all the great bargain hunting in random neighborhoods known for ripping people off for false antiques. 
I actually acquired a lot of great things due to my superior bargaining skills (one of the random things I bought from an antique store is pictured to the right... how perverted were my people back then?). It seems people there were afraid of bargaining with me because they thought I was Japanese... which I'm not. I'm not exactly sure, but I think being Japanese in China means something. I'm not sure, but it was an interesting thing to deal with. Either way, I couldn't, for some reason, access my blog while in China. It probably had something to do with my brother's internet connection, so the situation was out of my control.

I don't have a disease or virus, and I know this because I've had my complete bloodwork done in the last few days as per my mother's request, since my father has been diagnosed with diabetes like my mother... Needles are painful, by the way; at least I know that I'm completely clean... no hepatitis, no HIV, no TB, no meningitis, no syphilis, etc. What I have are a few physical injuries that need to be dealt with, so I'm headed to the hospital for surgery later today. It was only confirmed yesterday and I really didn't want to blog about any of this unless I definitely needed surgery. So, now I'm dying of thirst and hunger since I'm not allowed to eat or drink water before surgery... and I really just want a percocet. After I come back, I'll probably be hocked up on painkillers and drugs, but I'll catch you guys up on my trip to Shanghai and all the stuff I did before that.
