How spicy can I eat?

That's right - I can eat that spicy!! I normally eat spicy food already, but being in Shanghai and being with people who can eat really spicy, my spice tolerance has also increased significantly. And no, I haven't had any stomach problems yet, thank you very much.

Today for or cultural lesson, we learned how to 剪紙. It looks very simple since all you have to do is cut out patterns (like how we cut out snowflakes when we were kids), but to make crazy patterns, it takes a lot of time, patience and practice. I am not overly talented, but at least I think I am more skilled in this than Chinese calligraphy.... well, maybe not the leaf I attempted to cut out... but I think my bok choi, lantern and butterfly went pretty well ;)

PS. This will be the last post before the weekend, since I have no Internet access at the hotel. Don't you worry, I will still blog over the weekend, it just won't be posted until I can send it out. AND a special thanks to Adoria for helping me update my blog! :)) Have a great weekend, everyone - take care!
