ADDRESSES

I haven't moved yet, but I do have my mailing address for anyone who wants to send stuff. I would recommend printing out the chinese version and sticking it on the envelope since it will get here faster... but make sure you write 'china' on it so it makes it out of the US...

中国人民共和国
黑龙江省
哈尔滨市利民开发区 150025
学院路时代大街1号
Kellie Joyce

The romanized version:

No. 1 Shidai Street, Xueyuan Road
LiMin Development Zone
Harbin City 150025
People's Republic of China

The Chinese do things backwards... the character version actually goes from the biggest descriptor to the smellest... the first line is China, the second is Heilongjiang province, then Harbin city, and the road I'm on. Kinda the opposite of what we do, where we put the person first, then the address, city, state, country, universe, etc. I'm not sure how well the romanized version would work, it may be better to just print out that first one.

In case anyone is feeling really ambitious, my chinese cellphone number is 011-86-15084676147. Thats a lot of numbers. That's how it would be dialed from the US, it inclused the country code. I don't recommend calling me unless you have a reeeally good reason though, since its a lil bit costly to call China. Unless you're in China. Which you're not, unless you're Sproffee :)

Also, my new non-drew email is kejoyce19@yahoo.com. Feel free to say 'lo, sometimes I get homesick.

Tomorrow I have my first four classes... it's going to be an interesting time, that I can guarantee...

PS the low temperature for tonight is supposed to be 46F... I think I've found heaven!
