This week we have done a lot of exploring. We are trying to learn how to get around..that means taking on the bus system. Which can be pretty hard when you don't speak Chinese. But with the help of nice people trying to speak some broken English and a lot of pointing we made it! Sunday we went to wait for it...Walmart. It was huge. But sadly they didn't have the American food we were hoping for. Including diet coke. There isn't any dang diet coke in this country!!
NONE. Trust me I have searched. Also on our journey to Wally-world. We realized...everyone stares. EVERYONE. When they say people will ask to take pictures with you/take super creeper pictures they weren't joking! I don't know what Chinese social media I'm floating around but I'm sure a few. Because people were already taking pictures we decided to give them a show. Let's just say if you see any videos of some Americans doing the hoedown throwdown..probably us.
Today (Tuesday) we went downtown and to walking street! Luckily we had our awesome coordinators to help us get around today so getting lost was not on the agenda. We also climbed this mountain to this.
It is 400 years old! That's real old.
This week was also the first week of teaching! We have had two days at the school and they have been CRAZY. Everyone is trying to get used to the new teachers and we are all trying to get the schedules worked out so it has just been a little hectic. But great. The kids are so cute and know a lot of English already! It's so fun and cool to see them catch on to some phrases.
Well that's all. If anyone(mom) wants to send some breakfast food or diet coke that would be cool. Because like
