			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><strong>I&#8217;m getting a bit obsessed with everything Shanghai and Chinese. And Hello Kitty.</strong></p>
<p>Or maybe I&#8217;ve been for a while, I can&#8217;t quite say. I think it might just be a part of the entire shock of travelling so far and being incredibly far away from home. According to everything with theories, it&#8217;s supposed to be a part of the <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Culture_shock" target="_blank">phases of a culture shock</a>. I must still be in the honeymoon phase.</p>
<p>Everything is so weird, so cosy. Y&#8217;know. Except the beggar children without eyelids (the kids mother was following him around in the metro train) and the beggars in general. They&#8217;re not so cosy. The architecture, the alleys, the people selling street food, the club culture, it&#8217;s so.. oh year. I&#8217;m on a honeymoon trip. Seriously, the street food vendors?</p>
<p>Still, even though I&#8217;m enrolled into different Chinese classes at an EF school, I still kept my subscription to Chinesepod. <a href="http://www.chinesepod.com/" target="_blank">Chinesepod</a> has podcasts with lessons about the Chinese culture, the language and more. So all I need to do to repeat what I&#8217;ve learnt in one day&#8217;s EF class, is to put on my mp3-player and start listening. Learn while you walk. I like that concept. And I&#8217;m obsessing too easily.</p>
