Guess Who's Back? :D

I came back from China yesterday. I was supposed to come back on the 15th, but whatever >_< Too complicated to explain now.
I first arrived in ZhuZhou and got chickenpox. Whee. Fun <_< Anyway, one doctor said this, and another doctor said that, and it was pretty irritating for me. Nothing much to do but watch TV all day and lie in bed. At first I thought the TVs in China were really messed up, until I realised how it works. You see, in HK, it goes like this: Opening Song > Half an Episode > Commercials > Other half of Episode > Ending Song. In China, it goes like this: Commericals > Theme Songs > Commercials > One half of Episode > Commericals > Other half of Episode > Commercials > Ending Song. Geez. And the commericals in ZhuZhou were pretty long.
When the chickenpox ended in 1 week, I went with my grandparents to WuHan, where my grandparents live. I've been there hundreds of times, so the first few days I found nothing to do but watch TV. The TV there has 60 Channels, so there's always one that I can watch ^_^ From there I found Hikaru No Go and Prince of Tennis (animes.) So I went outside and bought the two: HnG 1-75, Prince of Tennis 1-119. They're both amazing. With Prince of Tennis, how many times can you watch tennis without getting bored? They added all these serves and other moves that are explained but mostly are impossible in real life -_- Hikaru no Go is even more amazing. It's... err... GO (Wei Qi,) and most people think it's really boring. I mean, it's laying a bit of slate on a wooden board! O_o But I like it even more than Prince of Tennis and it's got me hooked on Go XD Though I didn't like the ending, where Sai disappears. There's actually a sequel, but I don't know where I'm going to get cheap manga in HK, so I suppose I'm going to have to get a scantalation.
My grandparent's place is ice cream galore. Yum. You can just get some whenever you want. And then there were the Olympics. At first I worried that my grandparents didn't watch the Olympics, but I worried for nothing. Of course they watched them >_<
WuHan is nice. But HK is better. Except for school. I start school tomorrow. One day to get everything ready, and I'm wasting my time on the Internet XD

Welcome back. Sorry you had the Chicken Pox. I know how horrible they are. 
As a matter of fact..I still have a scar to remind me of that horribly itchy one.

Welcome back from China, its kinda distrubing that as soon as you got there you contracted chickenpox but I suppose the find of some good anime evens it out

Welcome back! Sounds like your grandparents are really nice. ^_^ Too bad about the chicken pox, though. I got them when I was six, and wow, those things murder! *starts getting itchy thinking about it*
Too bad that you have to start school right when you get back. School is baddddd. I'm already looking forward to the last day of school. And I haven't even started school yet.
