these are tissues that i bought at Wu Mei just in case we go somewhere where there's no personal bathrooms, maid service, and toilet paper--highly unlikely in china, but better safe than sorry, right?
except, they are scented. "rose"-scented. so if i want to use them to blow my nose, like i did two minutes ago, i am left feeling like i just crammed five fake flowers into my nasal cavity. i feel sort of dizzy now, actually. interesting...
so for all you chinese readers out there (so far, probably only mom and dad), did the package say they were scented?! my chinese still isn't good enough to tell...
to me, it looks like zhongguo hang tian...something yong something pin.
handkerchiefs something shou something... :]
oh well...maybe i'll just buy more. i think they cost like 5 cents.
oh, yesterday at wu mei (i know it seems like my life revolves around this convenience store but i assure you it's only for the time being. i hope.) i was buying my SIM card and i was sort of laughing at the sign for the cell phones, because it said "cellulephone, buy ertra minutes," and the guy working there saw me laughing, so he said, "把他换了" which means "change it for me," so i did.
oh this is awkward, the maid service is here...i always find it really strange to sit around while someone else cleans your house or does the gardening for you. i feel compelled to help, but i know it's their job.
well, i guess that's all for now. once life picks up around here, i'm sure i'll have more exciting things to "blog" about. hardy har (i wonder if anyone actually laughs like that. i'm going to try it with people i don't really know that well).

your Chinese is pretty good, the 2 characters that you couldn't identify are jian ti 字,1st one is ㄓㄨㄢ 專, and the 2nd one is 產ㄔㄢˇ.產品 means product.I guess it means this product is made specifically for 中國航天

紙 means paper,手帕 means handkerchief.
