What type of money is used here?:

We use the Chinese renminbi (RMB), which we also call Chinese yen or 快 (kuai).

A bottle of water costs about 2 块. Every other day I’ll go to the supermarket by my apartment and buy 4.5 liters of water, which costs 10 块. I always make sure to stay hydrated!

What was the best meal this week?:

This week, I went to a Chinese barbecue restaurant called 烧烤(shao kao). This was hands down the best meal I ate this week. We had chicken wings, fish, potatoes, eggplant, clams and even frog!

What music did I listen to this week?:

I listened to my shower playlist quite a bit, which features a lot of Ed Sheeran and Taylor Swift. Now, you might be asking why I was listening to my shower playlist. It’s because these are my favorite songs to sing and I went to KTV (karaoke) with some friends this week, so I had to practice my singing!
