These pics are from Element Fresh, a chain of American restuarants which serve soup, salad and sandwiches.  Might seem simple to you but some salad, chips+salsa, and smoothies were pretty refreshing.  A little on the expensive side at about 70 RMB per person (10 dollars) but hey at least there is no sales tax or tipping in China!

View from the 22nd floor of Andrea and Alexis’ apartment (other English teachers who live in the building across from me).  Sorry if the pics look crappy, I’m using a phone to take them till I get paid and buy a better camera.
