I feel like I’ve been traveling an awful lot lately. This weekend was a trip back to my hometown, Pittsburgh, with three of my friends. I usually don’t like to take people around the city since I never really know what people want to do there. But, since this is probably the last time I can do a “citywide tour” myself, at least for a few years, I figured I’d put some effort into it.

On Saturday, we first went to Rose Tea Cafe, a Taiwanese restaurant that I really love. And, according to my Taiwanese friend, they actually are pretty authentic. And even I know their bubble tea is godly. After that we headed over to the Andy Warhol Museum. I hadn’t been there since middle school, so it was cool to see what was still there, as well as new exhibits. After that, I picked up my best friend and we went to the South Side Works and Shadyside to do some shopping.

We went to the Shadyside Apple store to play with the iPads (fun, but would probably still never buy one), and I decided to see if I could get an estimate on how much it would take to fix my poor broken iPod Touch. They squeezed me in on the last appointment of the night, and even though my iPod was out of warranty, they replaced it for me for free because it was in good condition except for the bad headphone jack. And so, if you ever go to to that Apple store, buy something expensive. Haha. I know I will, because they are awesome.

After that we went up on the Duquense Incline to see the night view of Pittsburgh. It was super cold so we didn’t stay up too long, but it was definitely gorgeous.

Sunday, my mom made us a huge pancake breakfast. After that we all lazed around the house, reading manga and playing Wii while everyone slowly took a shower and got ready. By the time we were done, it was after 4, so we just decided to quickly stop by the mall to do some more shopping and after that we went back to Kent. As a thank you gift, they bought me boxes of cereal and a jug of milk, since I really like cereal. They even explained why they’d chosen each particular type of cereal. They are a crazy bunch of guys for sure, but that’s what makes them fun!
