So this new store or shop opened just a little bit down the street from our apartment, and apparently in Shanghai to celebrate that they light fireworks.. right there on the sidewalk. So one morning at 11am they lit fireworks and they went off for about 20 minutes. IT WAS SO LOUD. It sounded like all of Shanghai was just shot basically. After they did it in the morning, they proceeded to do it again at night, woohoooo. We watched them from my one roommates balconies, it was so close you could almost touch them! Also quite dangerous as they were like touching the side of the building and the glass windows of the apartments above the shop! People here are crazy I tell you. Also, the driving is wild! They weave in and out and they go in the lane that drives the opposite direction to pass vehicles and stuff, its crazy! Scary at times as well.. I went to a casting yesterday and saw a "Kim Hortons". It looked exactly the same as Tim's back at home but just with a K! The writing and the logo and everything was the same, it was so funny! I have only seen one though, I should of tested it out and seen if it was as good as Tim's, dangit! Ooh last night we went for Turkey dinner too! Me and two of my roommates, the one girl knew a guy that was having a bunch of people over so we went! They are vegetarians so there was no turkey or chicken, but they made salmon, mashed potatoes, pasta, vegetables, devilled eggs, spaghetti and appetizers too! It was sooo good! Best turkey dinner away from home! One last thing to mention before ending this for the day.. there is a hair salon across the street and in the morning and at night the employees go outside and stand infront of the shop and do this dance thing to music. Its actually quite entertaining, funny as well. I think they are trying to attract customers, but I am not really sure!
