Things are not going all that good. Why don't I ever do anything that I am capable of? I went to the Chinese grocery store and now I am steeping some Hong Shao Niu Rou Mian, the same brand I got on the train in Western China. This makes me feel better. I also came back with a bag of black sesame wafers, a coconut drink, and some organic barbeque flavoured nachos (from the Chinese store too). I considered buying a package of hot pot flavour actually made in Chongqing, which means it is really authentic and not some Hong Kong company's imitation (or an Eastery style of hot pot). But I had no idea where I would get stuff to make hotpot here...
Well, it makes me feel a small bit better.
I didn't get a Chinese Spanish dictionary, although that was what I originally went to the store for, because they didn't have any left that were the good quality ones like mine, from the university in Beijing.
