Somebody please talk to me.
I don't care if it's spam. Say something. Tell me I rock. Tell me I suck. Tell me you've hated me for years. Tell me what was for dinner last night. Tell me waht you want me to do. Tell me what you're doing right now.
*tears hair out*

Date: 2005-03-16 05:04 pm (UTC)I'm a strong believer of one choosing one's own lifestyle, so I really don't know. It's all a combination of benefits and sacrifices, like you chose to go to party and you had to sacrifice time and money, that sort of thing. I wouldn't have made that choice since I'm not a party person, but that's not to say going out is bad (sis keeps telling me to go out more XD) Sometimes it's like, when you're not in your usual turf, you can try too hard to make every moment count that you wear yourself out. It's like going on holiday, and then trying to fit everything into that holiday that afterwards you go back to work feeling more stressed than before you went away, you know?
<3!

Date: 2005-03-16 05:31 pm (UTC)I know it is cheap but after two glasses of wine, that would have been three cocktails to make it worth it and that would have meant five doses of alcohol and no more chatting at all tonight so no. And what's so expensive at Zing is the food, the drinks list is average Beijing, around 40 to 50 kuai for a cocktail.
The thing is that going out in Beijing is so very easy. You find friends to hang with (and you do. Heck, I do, and I am slightly anti-social.), and instead of the usual meeting up at someone's place, you go out to eat. Because it's almost as cheap to eat out as to cook yourself, especially if you consider leaving work at 7 pm shamefully early. And then, you go somewhere else just to hang, because lingering at restaurants is not done in China. And thus, you end up going out regularly, and start to meet up for drinks, or after-work parties, as opposed to my usual style of living in Cologne, where I "went out" a grand total of ONE time during the past two and a half years. China is different, the environment facilitates the lifestyle, and being a foreigner here but from the same background (ie. my friend C. studied something similar to what I do, and my other friends are law graduates) makes friendships easier when one is shy. I always stress about going out at home and have trouble even meeting up with soem of my best friends because I just wanna be alone. Here, the biggest problem is balancing all the things I want to do - work, china friends, normal friends, rp - without getting to bed too late. 1.30 again already. Must go.
