What happened in my life this month through 10 pictures

1-2: I went to watch I, Daniel Blake with Ari, Liza, Niamh, and Lennart. It was part of the Shanghai International Film Festival (SIFF). My review on Letterboxd: I, Danial Blake

3: We celebrated the birthday of our favorite half-Chinese student, Friederike. She turned 21, and I wish her nothing but more languages to learn.

4-5: Mariana’s goodbye gathering. She will return to Italy to finish her master’s degree. It’s such a loss for our movie night gang, and her absence will not be replaced with anyone, as we don’t know many cool Colombians in Shanghai.

6-8: Ari returned to Italy as well. Gerardo rented a car, and we took her to the airport and listened to the most random mix of songs.

9- I finally watched Backrooms with a great group of friends who seemed to enjoy the film more than me. My review on Letterboxd: Backrooms

10- Finally moved to a new place. Artur and Gerardo helped me through this annoying process, and I’m glad to have amazing friends who can offer me free labor because I went broke after ordering stuff for my apartment.
