I ate dinner with a cat today.

This post may not be very interesting to everyone but it is a major part of my life and I feel I should share it with everyone. Eating can be an adventure all by itself sometimes it is good and sometime is not. Sometimes you do not know what you are ordering all the time. Most of the time you just have to point. The menus are confusing even to Chinese people at least that is what our teacher told us. At first i did not like the food that much here I only liked a few things and I always felt hungry. Today though I realized I love this food it is awesome. For example at lunch today I went with a friend to a little shop with four tables in it and we ordered for orders of bao zi. It cost 2 yuan($0.25) for 6 of them and it is now one of my favorite things to eat. It is not my absolute favorite. My absolute favorite thing is Jiao zi from the little noodle shop or pork spicy dumplings 6 yuan ($0.80) they are amazing. My absolute favorite. I wish I could take this little noodle shop with everyone in it and all the food back home and open it up in Manhattan. The people do not speak any english but they do have an english menu so all you have to do is point to get what you want. That comes back to the title of this posting tonight at dinner me and a friend of mine ate with a cat at the table. It was sitting in a chair but none the less we ate dinner with it. It lives about 4 feet from the kitchen and it is tied to the table like you would tie a dog up. I think it adds to the atmosphere of the whole place. I may think it is disgusting in a month but right now I like it. Anyway that is a big part of my day.
