Hey

I went to the mountains last week with my host family, it amazing, the country side and mountains are gorgeous. School has been going really well and language skills are improving everyday. I won my first game of chinese chess the other day, it was pretty cool. I went to for a run the other day looking for the super market where I could find this really good snack, that family sometimes had. I got lost and ended up running around for an hour and half before I got there, and when I got there the store was closed. It was still really fun talking to the local people and getting directions. I forgot to mention this in the other blogs, but I joined my school newspaper and got invovled in the clubs where I can teach english to my clasmates and they can teach me chinese, this was like in early October it has been going good. Life is good, I know because my classmates are always telling me how lucky I am because I only have one class at the school while they have eight. Talk to later and I plan to blog more often but the internet at home has been down lately and I haven't been able to get online very often. bye
