Thursday:
Nothing noteworthy happened in Chinese class today. However, we have started Tai Chi and it is very interesting. I think we all really like it and are interested in learning more about it. We like one of our teachers, a cute little asian woman. I don't mind our other teacher, but Cindy seems to have a problem with her. Speaking of problems with people, Zach's new arch-nemesis is the cafe's manager, Helen. I don't really not what his problem with her is. The rest of us like her.
Friday:
I napped a lot today. . . wait, that's every day.
Saturday:
We went sightseeing! We went to a town called Hangzhou. It's one of the "heaven cities" and honestly, it was a bit boring. Very pretty, but the most interesting thing we did was feed huge and greedy fish. I'll post pictures. I was also forced to use a squat toilet, so as of now, Cindy and I have both used squat toilets.
Sunday:
It's been over a week in China, and it's just short of a miracle that we are all still alive and in one piece. Crossing the street is the hardest thing to do here! You have to be careful or you will get run over by cars, bikes, or mopeds. There is incessant knocking and superfluous noise. It's really loud.
Today, we went to an old town called Tongli. It was pouring today and we all got super wet but it was a fun trip. There was a lot of shopping to do and we all bought stuff. We also found some exercise equipment that kept us entertained for a while.
Dinner tonight was pizza. It was such a nice change of pace because we've been eating at the hotel restaurant and the food, which was okay for the first couple of days, has now become barely edible.
We finally found wifi so we will be updating the blog more frequently, I think, so check more frequently. We miss you all!!! Love you <3
