The rest of my week
Hello everyone just thought I would finish telling you what happened with the rest of my week. First of all this week has been really long we have had class everyday for 7 days so that we would get off for a week durig the Chinese national holiday next week. Wich should be interesting because from what I understand most of China shuts down and people use the time to travel all over China. I am going to go and visit one of my chinese teachers I had when I was a K-state she was just visiting last year at KSU and now she is back in China so I want to go and pay her a visit. She is one of the reasons I got into Chinese so much because she was so nice and helpful to me last year while I was trying to learn it. So I am really looking forward to seeing her. Anyway finally about the rest of my week. The only exciting thing that I did was attend a concert at my school. Everyone from my group got to go. It was really interesting it was like a pop music concert that was being broadcast throughout China on CCTV. There where probably 12,000 people in this soccer stadium. From what they tell us all of the people that performed where very famous in China. There where 3 acts that really stuck out in my mind. One of them was a 10 year old Chinese boy singing a song that was part Chinese, English and Spanish. If that sounds confusing that is becasue it was. Then there was an African American guy who sang and he also spoke perfect Chinese. The act that stuck out the most in my mind was when a "women" came out and started singing a traditional Chinese song. Then when they interviewed her on stage find out it was really a man dressed like a woman. Then to make that even stranger he went on to sing a duet with himself half the time singing like a women and half the time singing like a man. It was quite impressive the guy was very talented. Well that was the rest of my week. I may not post anything for a while since I am going on that trip to see my teacher but after that trip I should have plenty more to write about.
