"Twenty years from now you will be more disappointed by the things that you
didnt do than by the ones you did do. So throw off the bowlines. Sail away from
the safe harbor. Catch the trade winds in your sails. Explore. Dream. Discover."

"How much you want? NO joke price!"

this is completely irrelevant, but it amused me and im pretty stoked on it so, heres a 2 second post on the coolest discovery today.
 
so im in shanghai, china and we went to this market that had knock off stuff and pirated movies up to our eyeballs.
 
i decided to get 5 movies that are pirated just to check it out and see if they were legit.
 
i got:
Avatar
Julie and Julia
Up
Precious
The Ugly Truth
 
and YES they ARE indeed legit and work just like a normal movie would
 
i paid ONE us dollar each! and i got them before anyone (well most anyone) in the US!
 
how cool is that?!
 
now that i know theyre legit im going to buy like 10 more tomorrow!
 
 
i also got a cute dress, a present for my mom (its a surprise and im not spilling the details on my blog, sorry mom), this cat thing that fist pumps its paw (it could fully be on Jersey Shore) but really the paw moving means "bringing in the money" and a lot of Asian stores have them in there kinda like a good luck deal. pretty sweet!
 
oh and i got the most ginormous backpack that youd use for serious backpacking that in the us would cost probably like 100-150 bucks for 30bucks cause its a knock off, but its super legit! though..the lady says its waterproof so lis talked to her and said yeah alright poor some water on it so this lady gets her water bottle and poors it onto the backpack and it soaks the area she poored it on hahaha but whatever 30 bucks for a nice bag to travel with ((sorry mom and dad this will be easier to use than that bag you gave me))
 
 
i PROMISE my Japan blog will be finished soon! im busy busy busy and running on pretty much no sleep but i can sleep in may or while im dead. i want to take in every moment i can here so i can look back on this amazing experience and know i lived it to its fullest. its not just everyday someone gets to do something like im doing. im so thankful im able to be doing this. im very very fortunate and so appreciative!
 
 
-- Also, the skyline in Shanghai is BEAUTIFUL-especially at night! --
