I Have Cool Hair!

"Your hair is so cool." That was the first thing one of the graduate students Eric said when we met him in his iLabs told me yesterday. Not gonna lie, that definitely brought a smile to my face. We were hoping to meet Professor Liu to discuss the upcoming curriculum, but I guess since it was our rest day we got to chat with the graduate students about life in America, basketball, and later had lunch together with them.

Because I woke up pretty early around 7 AM, decided to roam around the area near the school. Found myself a pastry store, and treated myself to an Asian bun. It was 好吃，wished I took a pic. It was only $1! Can't wait to start exploring downtown Dalian, and see what the daylife and nightlife is like.

After lunch came back to the dorm and passed out. FYI, there are no elevators in our building, and yes, we live on the 5th floor. Had dinner after I woke up from my nap. Mangpo had to run some work back at the lab, so Louis and I ended up roaming around the city on our own. Somehow we ended up chatting about girls and relationships, and I basically told him my entire love life. No judgement was made surprisingly; in fact turns out he sort of had the same experiences as me. And we both have similar personalties, in that we're just both fun guys looking to find true love and the-one to spend the rest of our lives with.

First night of laughing so hard in China. He's really easy to talk to and down to earth. Listened well to my sad love life, and I particularly enjoyed listening to his past life. He and I are going to get along just fine. When we got back to the dorm I even started playing some love songs to set the mood :)
