Costume Quest and Party-Prep

Remember when Danny and I went on a Kross Kuntry Adventure?

Friday was kind of like that.

But it was about 10,000 times shorter.



We started at California Roll Factory for some much needed sustenance.




Then hit up Costco for party supplies.



And finally the Halloween Store to find Danny a costume.




We tried on several silly ones.



Encountered more creepy dead babies.




And had a Hot Danny sighting!







Roommate Danny settled on a hot dog costume to go with my taco.



And that's it. We're done.

We have sooo much booze.

IKEA quest!

We started off with an energy boost at my favorite restaurant in Chinatown - Tasty Hand-Pulled Noodle.

I strongly recommend the steamed pork dumplings. And beef pan fried knife-peeled noodles.




Delicious!



Afterwards we hopped on the train to pick up my car in New Jersey.

(With Smileyjohn arriving this weekend and Felly desperately needing a room makeover, we decided to go furniture shopping.)



(These events actually took place on different days but Connie wore the same clothes three days in a row so I get to condense three blog entries into one. Yay!)

We grabbed my car and went to the Christmas Tree Shops, which ConCon insists is chotchkie heaven.





Also we browsed Halloween stuff.



Dead babies anyone?




Oh...and then IKEA.



Yum!




(I hate hate hate IKEA. But somehow was tricked into buying several pieces.)





Wheeee! Shopping is tiring!



The End.

Party Dresses Galore

We woke early and jetlagged and hopped on the train to Shenzhen for a day full of shopping and glory.



It was crowded, but not nearly as bad as last time.




Crossed the border pretty quickly...



And headed straight to the Lo Wu Mall. Fake DVD/Polo/Prada/etc capital of the world.





Stomach grumbles made us stop first at dimsum.






And then soooo much shopping.

Felly got a new Tumi suitcase for $20...



Anne tried on some hot party dresses...



...but instead opted to stock up on sweet pjs...




...also we got Polos, button-downs, DVDs, purses, etc etc etc.

Shenzhen shopping rules.
