Today I went to Walmart! And braved the produce/dairy/meat section to buy cookin' ingredients! I'll write more about the Chengdu supermarket experience in my next post but for now I'm just gonna say 1. It's wild and 2. There are toads. TOADS.
I finally figured out how to buy fruit and vegetables (you have to get the items weighed and given a sticker at a separate counter before you check out) and cast one wistful, dramatic glance in the direction of the toads. They're so big.
Goodbye, toads.
My new goal: to actually upload these illustrations the day I draw them! The process involves a frustrating iphone photo session, a bit of color correction, and then an hour spent begging and pleading with my wifi router (sometimes it makes me sing to it which is clearly humiliating). But I'm determined to do it more promptly. The one factor out of my control is the sun, because when it sets it's much more difficult to get a good digital approximation of what's on the page. Which is me saying—if I get it up the next day that's okay too. Either way, time is a construct and my room has very dim lighting.
Did you know all of China has just one time zone? Crazy.
