2 days ago, we went to the panda zoo. It was about a half hour drive out of town.
There were lots of baby pandas and they were so cute! I got to watch one of them poop, some of them play fight and one of them even made panda noises. Unfotunately when we were walking up a hill, my stomach was hurting really bad and so I threw up. After that i felt better though.
After the pandas we went out for lunch. Tghe first place we went to only served a chicken meal. But Amy and I are not suppose to eat chicken becuase we have a cough and they say it makes your cough worse. So we went to anothwer resturant.
After eating we went to this HUGE temple that is really famous in China. It was beautiful. Her mom wanted to find an english guide so that I could know about it, but there was only chinese. So they lady told Amy and Amy told me. There were MANY satues of Buddah. In one room there were over 200. You are suppose to pick one that you like and then count your age from there and wahtevr one you land on will have a number. Then you go outside and you get a fortune. Amy's was funny becuase it said that she needed to study hard and that she couldn't have a boyfrind for the next year. Her parents were happy about that.
After this we went to IKEA. In China IKEA is very popular and the store is huge. It has a resturant in it too. It is American food.
Then we went to the mall and looked for the lid to a pan that her grandfather had accidentaly broken. There was a DDR game and Amy and I watched some kids do it. I"m never trying again. There were some girls who where maybe 10 or 11 who were doing it almost perfect, and they were dancing too!
Yesterday we went out to lunch with some of her parents freinds. One of the parent's daughter is one of the girls who came to our house when they were in America. We ate Hot POt. As usual, I wasn't hungry, and this time they didn't force me to eat, so I think I felt the best Yesterday that I have the whole time. Some of the things that they put into the hot pot are sausage, vegtables, cow brain, and intestines, and other things that I have no clue what they are.
After this we went to my favorite place yet. A bamboo garden. It was also probably the cleanest. We walked around for a long time, and then we went over to this are were there were a lot of people sitting at tables and we sat down. We drank tea, and they ate nuts. They would just spit the shells onto the ground and around some peoples tables there were really big piles of shells. After awahile. One of her mom's freinds, one of the dad's and Amy and I played Amy Jong. I won almost every time!!!
After this we wenty to another resturant where you can have your own room with a table.
Then after dinner we went home.
Also, I have gotten red envelopes from all of the parents, so so far I have only spent maybe 30 of my own money. All together I have gotten maybe 100 worth from red envelopes.
Her mother is very queenly and her dad is really priestly. He is super easy going and laid back. She is the opposite. She does all the bargaining, and whenever we are not sure which direction we need to go she is always right. Sometinmes they will argue abiout it a little and then she will just take off walking. And of course she is right!
