Myths and truths about China

Just couple things I wanted to say about China. Every body before I was coming to China was telling that I should buy everything in China, becuase everything is really cheap there, and I'm not going to lie I also had that impression also. We were all wrong everything is expensiive shoes, clothes, and electronics, though all made in China are all more expensive in China. The only thingsthat Ihave found to be cheaper here are electric and motor scooters. Also the price of fruits and vegtables are cheaper here. This realization came to me when I was talking with my host mother (in chinese), and she said in a chinese mind one RMB is equal to what one dollar is in my mind. When I saw a pair of shoes for 600 yuan I was blown away. China is going great I just a lesson on christmas for 4 different classes and performed chinese kung fu, gave a little speech, and read poetry in the new years performances. I will try to get up videos and pics soon. I hope every body had in the snow in seattle, no snow herebut it is freezing. A couple days of agoit was about -5 degrees F.Bye.
