I'll miss her. When I told Lula Belle I was coming to China, her reaction: "Oh honey, that's wonderful! I think you'll meet so many different people. It will be an adventure."





Do you like to iron? I don't. My grandma would make us iron everything. I think it was just to keep us busy 'cause she used to say to us an idle mind is a devil’s workshop. That’s what she ...

If she said something, especially something diff**ent like she usually did, it came back to me. “Marta’s mom thinks…said…did….R 21; But my moth**’s expressions w**e honest.

... and cut potatoes. Wang Fei, Ma Hang, Guo Pengfei, Zhao Fang, Ma Yujuan all cleaned and prepped food. Ning Beilei was in charge conducting it all.

“No, you don’t have to do anything!” they said. “It’s your birthday.”

I felt quite useless.

And, well, old.

Anna, a Russian student in my Chinese class, ran to get some music to liven the atmosphere. She loves reggae and dance hall mixes, so we started ...

... one choice: I would be an elf...a green one.

It was a great party. A few Americans dressed up in awesome kangaroo costumes. They got very sweaty, very quickly. Mike came as the guy from American Psycho. We also had a ninja....

And I discovered that green elves in bars soon become Irish.
The next day, 一动没动... one move, I didn't move.

... too tired to respond to.

Fortunately, a few trustworthy friends helped me out -- Michael (Scottish) picking up six bread rolls (and a bug -- free!) in the morning and Mike (from last year) grabbing me a bowl of soup at dinner, which I surprisingly kept down. And the texts from classmates who knew I was missing cheered me.

Well thats enough for now! The rest is soon to come

... to the directions today so we cycled an extra 10 kms and actually went past the warriors again. It was no big deal as the weather was nice, but I can imagine that our reaction would have been a lot less calm if it was a rainy day...!! Day 151 to 154 "Same same..all towns blend into one.."

... that there wasn't enough money to buy the cow, so the Harbin group settled on a goat and a few chickens. I saw some pictures of the whole ordeal and it looked a little gross to say the least...I'm glad I didn't see the massacure! Anyang is a "small" city in China (about 5 million people) and it was definitely a lot different from Beijing. I don't know why, but the pollution seemed worse than Beijing. The last day we were there was beautiful, so it made up for the "foggy ...
