in china...
I wonder if people still read livejournal anymore. oh well, this is for the people who do.
i'm in china! this is our 4th day here (of about 10, i think). we're at a pc place. apparently they're still popular here. gaming is so big. yuck.
we did so much, it's crazy. just a quick list:
great wall of china
downtown beijing
tiananmen square
the forbidden city/palace
jinan lake
jinan natural spring
foot massage parlor (mmm...)
confucius' hometown/temple/burial ground
(we even met one of confucius' descendents. interesting fact: 6 out of 10 people living in that city are descendents of confucius, with last name Kong (confucius' last name.)
lots of other stories, and lots of drama, especially when you hang out with the same people the whole time. it's hard to avoid.
i love this trip, though. it's shed a new light on my view of china and chinese people. i can actually say i'm proud(er) to be chinese (although you still get the occasional public nose-picker).
Anyway, maybe i'll write more when i find another pc club.
bye!
