Ni Hao!
Oh my goodness. I cannot even describe to you how in love I am with this place. I am finally all settled down in my dorm above the school that I will be teaching at and it is SO great. It is incredibly hot and humid and I'm fairly certain I haven't been dry since the moment I stepped off the plane, but I'm slowly adjusting.
My school is sort of in the heart of the city. It's about an 8-10 minute walk from the big shopping center called Da Fu Yen. Walking around the city is always so fun because everyone just stares at us because we are Americans. They all want to say hi to us and a lot of them secretly try to take pictures and think we can't tell, but they are incredibly obvious. And all the little kids just stare at us like we are ailens hahah! They are so cute! All the guys driving around on their little mopeds always have to do a double take as they drive by, and then they just keep staring and almost crash into each other. It's pretty funny!
This place is just amazing and I wish you all could experience this! I wish I had time to write more right now, but it will have to wait till tomorrow. It's about 1:00 in the morning here and I need to go to sleep! But I buckled and bought a proxy so I could blog. Otherwise I wouldn't be able due to the government censoring the internet here. So now you can keep up with me if you want!
Tomorrow I will post pictures and tell you all about what it's like living here, the hike I went on, the crazy/insane dinner I ate, and karaoke night! Come back if you want a good laugh! And I'm not kidding. I'm pretty sure you will laugh, even if it's just a little bit.
Lots and lots of love from Xiaolan!
