My Apartment

I never bothered to put up pictures of my apartment before, so now seems like a good day to do that. Most of my decorations came back with me from Inner Mongolia, except the blanket on the couch which my mom made in the USA. I brought it to China with me.
Yes, that’s a highball glass in my cupboard. You win a cookie if you can guess which bar it came from.
I’m back

Actually, I’ve been back for two weeks. For anyone considering a trip to Hohhot, I recommend July–any other month of the year is bloody cold.
Going to Hohhot was my first trip to a minority area of China. It was interesting seeing all the signs written in Mongolian and Mongolian graffiti scattering the sides of buildings.
I picked up a few decorations for my apartment like a badly needed floor rug, a tapestry of Genghis Khan and a few scroll painting prints of horses: one for each season.
