This week

Well I am sitting here kind of bored tonight already got my homework done and I have nothing else to do so I thought I would share what has been going this week so far. Well first off on Monday we discovered that in our apartment building there is a western food restaurant. It is the craziest thing there is no sign on the door or anything you just have to know about. One of my roomates accidentally rang the bell on the door or else we would not have any idea it was a restaurant. We went there and they have pizza, spaghetti and steak. In the background they played American Music it was really bizarre. Tuesday was the Chinese Mid Autumn day it is a festivel celebrating an ancient Chinese mythical hero I would try and explain it but I do not know the story that well. One of the traditions of the festival is that if you are away from you are supposed to look at the moon and think about your loved ones who you are missing. So we ended up having a little get together on the roof and a Chinese friend of ours told the story of the moon festival. Then we went around the circle and everyone talked abou who they missed the most and why. It was really quite moving. I said my parents. Then this morning the most random thing happened my roomate and I walked outside to go to school and around the corner we see a chicken running at us with two people chasing it. It looked like something that belongs in a movie. Very Very funny way to start the day. All that and it is only Wedensday. Tomorrow should be interesting we are all supposed to go to a special celebration with people from the Chinese Central Government and we are at a special table and 12,000 people will be there. The details are kind of sketchy but I should be giving you an update on it in the next few days. We never know what we are doing until the last minute anyway.
