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.)

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...

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!!!
