I have fallen in love

.......With a tasty Chinese dish called Dong Pourou. Its Pork with the fat and skin in some sauce. It is SOOOOO good. Other than that China has been wonderful. People told me I would have a hard time getting used to the food but its all been very delicious. Also other than the food my adventures have been extending. I haven't posted for awhile but we visited places such as: Yellow Dragon Park, The Mausoleum of Yue Fei, Traditional Street, The City's God's Temple, and West Lake. All of which have been amazing. The landscape here is gorgeous and amazing. When we went to Yellow Dragon Park Talbot Will and I broke off the beaten path and climbed on a ton of rocks that other Chinese people were climbing on. The signs said dont, but the Chinese rule for safety (even with driving) is DON'T BE STUPID terrifying at times, but wonderous to behold. Those pictures are pretty sweet and as I said I am attempting to upload pictures but it is taking quite a while. Afetr scaling the moutain hill that was Yellow Dragon Park we ate some food around West Lake and by the way, all of our meals during our excursions are HUGE and delicious. We finally met the one other person that is in our group named Robert. He recently married a Chinese woman who seems very nice, however, he was wearing a turtleneck.....and  that about explains it all (power complex as well). We registered for the school today so soon I will have a student I.D. It was the first time I saw many other minorities. It was like being in America all over again. Even though it was like America, I didn't like it.

So about the people here. They are all so very friendly, they treat white people like celebrities. Many a time we all have been pulled to the side of the street to take a picture with complete strangers. I have yet to get tired of it because they all are all just so nice. Yesterday we took a trip to a place thats called traditional street in english, where Will Talbot and I sat in a tea place tasting teas and talking to a really nice girl for like an hour and a half, which was ALL free. It was amazing. That is all for now, sorry it was so short. Pictures are coming!
