Hello everyone! Today was a busy, yet fun-filled day. We started our day off with some breakfast in the cafeteria. We all enjoyed various breads and some noodles. After breakfast, we attended a lecture on the similarities and differences between Chinese and American culture. The professor also showed us a video of a typical Chinese wedding, so that was really interesting to view. Since it rained today, the campus orienteering activity was canceled, so we all went into the city to eat at McDonald’s and shop after our daily rest time. In the city, we went into various shops looking for warmer clothes and trendy boots. I have also been looking for a Chinese lantern as well, but I think I will have better luck in Beijing in a few days. We enjoyed our McDonalds dinner….it is nice to have something familiar to eat every once in a while… We also went to a tea shop that our friend here, Stella and her family own. The tea was absolutely amazing and her parents were very nice. We got to ask a lot of questions and her parents were very open with us. Luckily, we had many intelligent translators who could make conversation possible between her parents and the group. Following tea, we walked back to the bus stop and are all now back in our dorms. The days here are very busy and we got really tired. I look forward to tomorrow…we will begin with morning tea!
