China!

Hello everyone! I arrived yesterday night. I was not feeling too fantastic after the 14 hour plane ride during which the pilot decided to have some fun during turbulence and drop 5,000 feet. Terrifying or fun? I will go with the first. We took a bus from ShangHai airport to Hangzhou which was 2 hours. On the way the buildings and city never really stopped, which reminded me how emensely huge China really is. When the group got to Hangzhou the bus driver decided he was going no further into the city and we were not anywhere close to the campus. So our friend Alex hooked us up with a cab and got us about 15 minutes walk from the school. It was quite the experience. After we got our rooms which I will have pictures of coming soon, we went out to a buffet with tons of food to eat, and awesome mango and watermelon juice. Then we went back to the dorm town (which is larger than the size of Pella) and started to get ready for bed. Thats all that happened really last night.
Today was the dawn of a new begining. After waking up to the sound of fireworks at about 6 i went back to sleep until 8, took a very hot and nice shower and got ready for the day. We met up at Central's office building which is where I will be connected to the internet at, talked about things and went on a tour of campus. Li Shumin (our Central College connection) took us around showed us where the laundry place is along with a kitchen to use. Then we saw a convienence store which sold a salami, egg, and chicken sandwhich that two of my friends had. I took a bite, it was pretty tasty. After we ended the tour by an ENOURMOUS Mao statue Li Shumin left us to help someone else renew their visa stuff, my friend Will who had been here since last summer showed us a couple of cool things: The first was an awesome drink place for Milk Tea, I don't even like tea and it was good, it had these weird gelatin things in it which were actually pretty good, the second was a place I had been told about before I even left I don't know its name but it was referenced as Pac Man's for its logo looks EXACTLY like Pac Man eating a bit. I will have a picture so you can see for yourself. Well thats about where I am at now and will update everyone later.
