GIANT BARRELL

Today is our last day in our homestays and I personally have been making the most of it. We had this awesome ride where you go in this giant barrell and roll to the other side! Me, Susan and HuaYuan went and we all fell over multiple times! I have a graze on my knee but the ride was so worth it!!! I think it was to celebrate some sort of crab festival. We also had a nice chinese lunch. I LOVE CHINESE BREAD!

Day one

Today we arrived in China and headed off to our home stays. Here is what I learned

-It is 40kms between Huijia and Susan's House
-Three people live in their house, Susan, Anna and Hua Yuan
-Anna is an accountant and Huayuan is a director
-They don't have any pets
-One difference between our houses are that theirs is two stories but my house is bigger and my house has more rooms

For Lunch today we had pizza's (she fed me western food because that tomorrow it will all be Chinese) and we played Ping Pong. It was really fun and exciting! I can't believe that I'm actually in China! (sorry about the rainbow but I have limited time.)

OMG!!!!

I can't believe it! I AM GOING TO CHINA!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! It seems so unreal! I am so ecstatic.

ONE MORE SLEEP

Now I know I speak for all of us when I say... I AM SOOOOO EXCITED! Just one more sleep...

Terrible twos...

Only two more days till lift off and it's pretty fair to say that I am over the moon, I most defiantly will post tomorrow and I'll try to on Monday! I am all packed except for scented tissues... I can't find them anywhere! Anyway I better go, TWO MORE DAYS!

Three... YIPEE!

THREE DAYS! I am soooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo excited I am beyond words! We have our booklets and that makes me even more excited! Anyway this is only a short one and I will post one tomorrow and on Sunday! Maybe even Monday! Bye!

High Five!

Only five more days! Today we got our Chinese T-shirts and they are awesome, my favourite is the blue T-shirt. I think the yellow one is a tiny bit see through. We have to wear the t-shirts so that the teachers can see us easily. Like we're really going to run away and live in China...(I was being sarcastic). Anyway that's all from me for now...

SIX DAYS TO GO!

So cool, there is only six days to go before we cross international borders! What a coincidence, my grandparents and auntie are leaving to go back to New Zealand! Any way I am seriously nervous about this! But I also CAN'T WAIT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Well anyway that's all from me for now!

Almost...

There is a little over a week to go and I am completely nervous. It is a little daunting knowing that China is a completely different country and they have different customs but I guess I will have to cope. I'm not sure about my home stay... I think he's a boy! I'm having a hard time trying to actually get ready in time, I just finished with camp and now I'm off to China! I'm such a busy girl! My brother also went to China and he loved it! I'm looking forward to Peking Duck! I have tried very little Chinese food but so far I have loved it. When we went to the Chinese restaurant I tried Sweet and Sour Chicken. I absolutely loved it. Milly let me try some beef in black bean sauce, it was yummy for my tummy! I can't wait to eat some more stuff because I am actually getting the hang of chopsticks! Well that's all from me for the moment. BYE!!!
