Jen: How We Snuck into a Ticket only Performance

Me and Rebecca definitely snuck into a concert tonight. My conversation partners wanted to see their friend dance so we followed them into the back row. Apparently others paid for seats and waited in line but we snuck in... I feel a little bad but we didn't event know it cost money until after the show. One of my partners was dancing and I was really impressed! Lots of traditional costumes and music. I really liked the Tibetan and Mongolian dances! I am always amazed at how talented Chinese people are. There was a little bit of Opera too!
I'm starting to befriend my group members which is really nice. I am closest to the two girls. They are adorable! Alice and Yuki. I can't wait to try Karaoke soon with them.
Next week is sports week so I might not have a meeting with them. It depends on the weather. The Chinese people work very hard and it pays off. I could learn a thing or two from them!

Delightfully yours,
Jen

Jen: I'm Famous! Only not...

Today was my first and so far only moment of fame in China. A group of students near the Frid Place kept looking at us and giggling. They really wanted a photo with us. We said it was fine aha. They looked Japanese tho. I was confused. Other than that we browsed like mad and I bought a few gifts for people back home! (Not saying who) ;)
Our room is super cozie and the beds are firm but huge! Guess what! Our main washroom is a squattie! I can deal with that tho. It's suppose to be a lot better for you anyway! And just imagine the quads and hamstrings I'll have when I'm back in Canada.
I absolutely love it here. It's a dream come true! I'm slowly starting to realize I'm a minority here (big surprise right?). Rebecca may make fun of me for it (when doesn't she make fun of me) but I keep feeling more concerned with how I'm affecting them than then them affecting me. If that doesn't make sense I can elaborate later. Time to do laundry in the sink!
Til next time!
