It's time for a belated birthday appreciation post! (Better late than never.) Turning 19 two Sundays ago was an experience too wonderful for words, so I'll just say a few things and let the photos say the rest.
I missed spending my birthday with my family, but I have to say that my friends absolutely spoiled me! A big group of us Stanford interns went out to a KTV bar on Saturday night, and at midnight they sang me an enthusiastic and refreshingly on-pitch "Happy Birthday." On Sunday we went out for dinner with our lovely Airbnb hosts and housemates Rebecca and Paul at Lotus Eatery, where we staged multiple lighthearted battles over the lazy Susan. We all went out for drinks afterwards, where I proceeded to spend more money on a single drink than I had pitched in for my entire dinner (#justChinaThings).
The real MVP of my birthday was Amit, who reserved a private room in the restaurant with Rebecca's help and spent the rest of the day humoring me as I requested too many portrait shots in front of the Bund and free-rode an elevator in a hotel where I clearly wasn't staying.
Cheers and thank you to all the wonderful people who helped make my birthday great again!
