Dear Diary (Day 0)

Word of the day: (COLD)

"I arrived in Shanghai at 4:50pm and It's night! Yes, the day runs from 8:00am to 4:30pm. It's really cold here (about 0ºC) and the air was dark, really dark!
After one hour in the traffic with Violet (my buddy) I met my flatmattes!... Jeff, Calum and the girl from Russia (Mascha). They look friendly - I hope so.

I'll sleep in a bedroom with four other guys. The Trainee's House has 4 rooms: Men's, Women's, Notebook's and Kitchen... It appears safe, but durty. There is no space in the rooms and the toilet is terrible!. But it's Ok! - One expectation attended! ;)

At night, we went to a chinese restaurant close to home. In the menu I found: Bullfrog and pork's intestine, but I had a simple chicken, mushroom and rice of course. I pais 23,ooY for that (almost 6 reais)

After dinner we went to the Mall (there are 5 here - 200m from my flat!!!) and I bought some tea, some chocolate, a fruit (Pitaia), a SIM chip and a mobile charger.

At home, again, I tried to install the webcam, but it didn't work (I don't know why!) , I tried to use my new SIM chip in my mobile, and I failured again... and, at least, I tried to recharge my mobile but, I failured again. Well, before go to the bed I tried to connect on the internet and... you know what happened [:-/]

It's 00:15am and I'm going to sleep... See you tomorrow"
