After a really long week last week, I was super ready to for the weekend! Thank goodness we only have classes Monday through Thursday!! Thursday night was amazing. I went to Muse 2 (there are 3 Muses in Shanghai, Muse, Muse2, and Muse Underground) for House of Gaga. Around 11 or so the most legit Gaga impersonator on the planet performed for about 20 minutes. Everything about her, from her costume and hair to her singing, was so on point that I was almost fooled into believing it was Gaga herself!! Muse 2 was still fun after she left. They had huge light up Styrofoam glow sticks. I ended up staying there until 3:30!!
Friday we had a field trip to Tianzifang and the Shanghai Antique market. Tianzifang was really cool. It is a bunch of little alleyways filled with shops and stores. Unfortunately, we only had an hour to spend there so we are definitely going to go back. After Tianzifang, we went to the Shanghai Antique Market. Of course since this is China, most of the "antiques" there are fake. It was still really fun to look around at everything though. I didn't buy anything because most of it was dirty to make it look older. Friday night the NYU students that live on the other side of our dorm were hosting a party at a club called Not Me. It was called Baijiu Meltdown, but I stayed far away from the Baijiu. It was pretty lame. The NYU kids were DJing and they were not very good. Guess there is a reason we haven't hung out with them at all this semester.
Saturday was really gross and rainy, but we decided that we needed to be more adventurous and go explore Shanghai some more so we decided to go to the Fake Market. The Fake Market is a bunch of shops that is actually in a subway station in Pudong. It was super cool!! A lot of the fakes were really good. Lucy and I both got Marc Jacobs wrist-lets for 100RMB. Not too bad!! Laura and I also ended up finding a place that sold DVDs. I got all 6 season of Sex and the City, 4 seasons of Dexter, and 12 movies for 470RMB. We were all really tired and the weather was super gross, so instead of going out we stayed in and had a double feature movie night. It was really nice, relaxing night!! The first one I have had on a weekend here!!
On Sunday, Lucy and I went to meet a Chinese woman, Jeuce, that Lucy knows through her uncle. We ate at a place called Osteria and it was delicious!! They had a 2 courses for 88RMB special for brunch, so first I had eggs for breakfast, and then I had a pizza for lunch!! Talking to Jeuce was a lot of fun. She actually lives in Tianzifang, where we were on Friday. She works for a Chinese App company. She also writes a blog on "wine and spirits" and is getting flown to France this week by a Cognac company because of it!! Lucy and I talked to her about the cost of apartments because we really want to get an apartment together here next summer. We had a great time, but we couldn't stay too long because we had to get back to school and do homework.
Tonight, Lucy and I ordered from Shanghai Sherpa, a restaurant delivery service. We got sandwiches from a really good deli. I was super excited because mine had avocado on it!! I have a mid-term tomorrow unfortunately and I should probably be studying for that instead of doing this. Who knew my blog would become my new source of procrastination?
