The Russian guys is too slowly to work, you have to wait for a long time. I think the deal will be off, because the music festival is in December, they don’t have free time to wait for us.

Last week, I went to Xinjiang to see the HYL forest. My boyfriend told me the manager wanted leave Shanghai, because she doesn’t feel important. She told to my boyfriend and Vidalee, so we knew she is in a bad mood, so my boyfriend ask me “maybe you can go with her, just asking”. I followed it, unbelievable, she said yes. We have to find restaurant for vegetarian. In Xinjiang, it’s not easy to find it. Then, when we went to Kashgar, south of XJ, it’s a very local place. She’s so double standard. I know she likes Muslim culture. One time, we bought something and she paid for WeChat. After the local guy didn’t check you pay or no, she said “wow they have a good culture, they no lie to other people”. When we were in Kashgar, she said “there are no Chinese people. ” I said “Xinjiang belongs to China, but they have different face”.
