YOU GUYS. The wine flavoured Pejoy is really good, and I mean really, really good. Pejoy is basically reverse Pocky1, and I’ve bought so many boxes of tiramisu, cheesecake, matcha green tea, red wine, and chocolate. Not to mention, I’ve bought so many snacks2 in addition to this. If only American prices weren’t so inflated. 
This Saturday, I’m going to the Great Wall3, provided the weather is nice enough to go. It’s been so rainy this week!4

1: Um, if you don’t know what Pocky is, I am terribly sorry because you are missing out. They’re these snack sticks dipped in icing. It’s a rather simple concept, I know, but if you’ve had it, then surely you know how good it is! And Pejoy, which I somehow can’t seem to find in the States, is the snack stick with icing inside. Which is an equally brilliant concept. Basically, if you are totally unfamiliar with Pocky/Pejoy, then I suggest you go to an Asian supermarket, go to the snack aisle, and buy it!
2: Snackwise, China is amazing. Lay’s potato chips come in flavors like cucumber, aromatic crispy chicken, Italian red meat, and lychee. LYCHEE (!!!). The Chinese tend to get rather creative with the snacks, which can be both delicious and … bizarre.
3: SiMaTai portion of the wall. I heard it’s steep.
4: The bright side of the rainy weather is that the afternoon isn’t humid at all. I can tell when it’s going to rain, because the weather is breezy and nice. The haze makes it a bit hard to tell, since you can’t see the ominous storm clouds lurking in the sky.
okay I LOVE Pocky.. and wine flavored Pejoy sounds absolutely delicious.. and Lychee flavored crisps? hahaha that sounds so gross.. I hope you get to go to the Great Wall & I hope you have fun!! ♥

Ahahaha, I haven’t tried the lychee crisps yet; I’m intrigued.
I’d totally send you a box of the wine Pejoy because it’s actually really delicious stuff.

Oh, Pejoy sounds delicious!
I love Pocky/Pepero (basically the same thing), but I’ve never had Pejoy.
And oh man, Korea is awesome with snacks, too. Every time my family goes, we get tons of stuff.
It’s so amazing. OH MAN I LOVE KOREAN FOOD. 
Oh, when I went to China a few years back, my family and I climbed the Great Wall, too. Not sure which part, though–my dad probably knows. And ooh, I love rain when it brings down the humidity, hahaha. Me + heat = no love.
BUT me + Cindy = LOVE.
Hahaha miss you, hope you’re having an awesome time.

AJSKDFJADKS!!! Pepero —isreallyreallygood. I really think that you’d love Pejoy. I’m not sure if any of the American stores have it, because I can’t recall ever having it outside of Asia.
Korean food is SO amazing. I’ve been really craving some; it’s been too long since I last had it. Asian food is like, the pinnacle of all things consumable.
And the lack of humidity has been so refreshing, despite the rain and all. The weather here is kinda iffy, considering that you can’t even predict the forecast through the clouds. D:
Yay!
I’m going to answer your email soon; I’ve actually been away from the Internet all weekend!
