Time in China is Half Over

Now that’s hard to believe, it’s gone very quickly.  The past couple of days have been relatively standard.  We went out to dinner with one of the school headmasters  earlier in the week, and had some really good food… the sheep dumplings in particular were phenomenal.  School has been pretty straightforward… nothing super special to report on that front.  I taught my American Culture class how to play Texas Hold’em today, that was fun, we had a good time.  No major sight seeing yet… hopefully will accomplish some of that tomorrow and on Sunday.  There’s not a lot of stuff to sight-see around here, so it’s not like I’m missing out on tons.  We’re going to try and see Yeuyang Tower tomoroow (the main sight-seeing attraction in the area, and supposedly the third most famous tower in all of China).  Sunday is a trip to “Monkey Island”… not really monkey island of course… it has a proper Chinese name… but there are apparently monkeys there, so it’s being called Monkey Island.

Only other thing of note to report is I’m signed up for 10 sessions of Chinese therapuetic massage.  Been twice already (yesterday and today), and it’s very different (rigorous, not at all relaxing while it’s happening, only afterwards), but good so far.  Little problem today… they bruised my back they were massaging so hard… (may have had something to do with the fact that the guy was standing on me massing me with his feet)… but they said it was normal and that I should be fine in a day or so… so we’ll see how that guys.  Back is definitley a little sore right now though.

Allright, that’s it for now, should hopefully have some good pics from this weekend to post soon.

peace,

Seth
