I am finally Chinese

So here's the story.

On Saturday night my friends and I had planned to go out to all you could eat Sushi for 65 kuai.
We get there and are a bit skeptical but after awhile get pretty excited when they say it is most definitely all you can eat for 65 kuai. We order a bunch of food and get excited. After a bit of waiting we receive like maybe 5-6 dishes (for 9 people and this is a Japanese place so the portions are sickeningly small) and then nothing comes for a REALLY long time (maybe over an hour). We send Scott and Joyce to ask where our food was. They say that the food we asked for was hard to make (ummm sticking a piece of cucumber in some rice and wrapping it in seaweed is hard?) and that she would tell the cooks to be faster. Maybe 10 minutes later she brings out 1-3 impossibly small orders of sushi and a disgusting box of rice and 'eel' (which was probably more like fish--sick) and we are getting pissed. We  ask for some rice and they're like you have to wait 20 minutes for rice. We begrudgingly say 'fine' and then proceed to wait 35 minutes and get nothing at all except for one frozen plate of salmon. By this time three of our compatriots had left us (paying far too much 310 kuai between them) The rest of us decided that the pitiful meal that we had gotten in the last three hours was not worth the 65 per person so we decided to just leave the 310 kuai that the others had left and not pay anything else, except to the people who had already left.

We leave the restaurant and start walking down the street and one of the fuwuyuan starts running after us...telling us that the money we had payed was not enough (btw, from here on out all of the verbal exchanges are in Chinese). We tired to walk to school but they kept following us and we didn't want them to know where we lived so we called Steve the RA who told us to stay put while he came to help us. Meanwhile, about 2 more Fuwuyuan and 2 cooks came out and are telling us to pay money. I am fed up and start yelling at them (in CHINESE)...

Examples:
FWY(Fuwuyuan): You didn't pay enough!
Me: We paid what we that was enough. Your food wasn't worth eating! We waited two hours and you didn't give us anything!

FWY: It's Saturday, we have a lot of customers!
Me: Monday, Tuesday, Friday--it doesn't matter! You still have to give us food! We're not paying you!

coolest. thing. ever. Eventually Steve and Dan came to save us and told the rest of us to go while they handled it. We started to leave and one of the fuwuyuan started walking after us...but we were faster and walked in the opposite direction from school and lost her. We ended up going to a bakery and buying them cookies to say thanks. Apparently everything was resolved through calm talking...but that's not very exciting now is it?

In other news:
-I named my roomie Serena
-My laoshi said that last week I was nuli (new-lee=hard working)
-I've started meeting with my tutor 4 hours a week. She doesn't help me so much as the time blocked out forces me to do my homework earlier in the day then I normally would. And its just another chance to hear/speak Chinese.
-Friday and Saturday I did some pretty sweet bargaining.

Mom's sent me a bunch of topics she'd like to hear more about on the blog. If any of you would like to do the same feel free...I'll do my best to accommodate.
