Daily necessities weighing down my hernia-inducing shoulder bag.
Grey cardigan, Neutrogena moisturizer/SPF 30, fan from Yu Yuan gardens in Shanghai, value village vintage wallet, ankle brace (boo hoo), battered pencil case, kleenex (you never know), red day journal, ipod, hair clip, Chinese electronic dictionary, tiny purse from Japan (usually holds ipod, ear plugs, receipts, vitamins), not pictured: Camera
Padding my life with the tools to survive a Beijing summer. Eventually I will shave off a few of those items from my daily life (Chinese dictionary will be less helpful in Canada, though I will use it to study), and hopefully stand a few centimeters taller.
