Brad is amazing! Since we won't be together for our 6 year anniversary in April, Brad surprise me with a celebration on Friday night. We spent the night at the Swisstouches Hotel in Xi'an, which was one of the nicest hotels I've ever been in. After work on Friday, we walked over to the hotel (across the street from the school), walked around the place (it had a bunch of cool restaurants and terraces), and chilled for a bit. Then, Brad treated me to an hour massage - which was AWESOME. Very similar to US massages, except at the end of the massage, the masseuse served me rose tea with actual rose petals floating in the pot. Yum. The massage felt amazing, and totally got me in the mood for a luxurious night. After the massage, Brad and I had dinner at one of the restaurants... vegetables, beef, pork, and noodles. At one point, I asked for a Sprite. Since we have a bit of a language barrier, the waitress didn't understand, so I made a hand motion to indicate I'd like to see a menu. Still, I wasn't clear enough, apparently, and we ended up with the check! It was a cute situation. After dinner, we rode up to the 30th floor to the Swistyle Bar for mock and cocktails. Very swanky bar with live music and huge plush couches. We had one whole side of the bar to ourselves! The next day, we treated ourselves to a yummy moderately Western breakfast before heading out to the Shannxi Museum with the Brookline students. All in all, a killer anniversary, yet again!
