I think my father is convinced I will be robbed blind once I land in Shanghai due to extreme poor planning and naivete. Well, here’s the rundown of my preparation thus far:

- 3 painful immunizations, $108, termbilled to parents

- malaria meds, in case i travel through rural China: $30

- hotel booking (and subsequent rescheduling because I misread my itinerary, typical), $68

- 4am taxi ride, anticipated $45

- stupidly lost ID, charlie card, keys, almost full BerryLine card, valued at $55

- two months rent on sublet, Y3600 (approx. $600)

- gut busting breakfast at Harvard Square diner Leo’s Place, $7.95

- other anticipated expenses, $1500, or until I run out of cash

- GYM MEMBERSHIP???

- amount of money earned doing temp barbacking: a lot more than standing around should merit

- getting free bull testicles from KO Prime predeparture: priceless. The video is coming soon.
