today i realized how very curly my hair actually is, it has been raining a light drizzle all day.
i find it funny that when i am in the states, if it is raining, i do NOT go outside, but here in china i wandered all the streets, got soaking wet, had to change clothes three times and loved every second of it.
today we learned about planting seeds, cultivating the already planted seeds and then the reward of the harvest. Joyce's words "as you go sow" rang through my mind.
Tonight we did some shopping, sightseeing and practiced our sowing techniques, we will be checking our seeds tomorrow and the next day.
Today for lunch we found an amazing little place on the side of the road, it smelled amazing even amongst the stench coming from the streets because of all the rain. we went into the little room and sat on tiny red plastic stools and had the best dragon buns, veggie rice and noodles ever. this time we ate and ate and ended up spending about 60 cents for lunch. mmmm
the family that runs this yummy place live above it and we saw the ladder against the wall they use to climb up to their house. they have sparked an interest to me and i plan on visiting them again tomorrow. they have a daughter that could use some t.l.c.
tonight, for dinner we found another place, this one was a build your own soup (mom, you would LOVE it). on the street corner there was a long table/boxes/cart thing covered with all different types of meats and veggies on sticks. so we picked up which sticks looked the best to us and gave them to the beautiful chinese girls with huge pots. i picked a kind of fish that had little red spots in it, seaweed, tofu skin, dried tofu, big square tofu (good deal lot of tofu) and two types of green leafy veggies that looked like a cross between bokchoy and spinach. the broth was probably the most amazing broth i have ever tasted! mom, please come to china with me and learn how to make it!
i found an adorable shoe store, and the shoes are about 6 dollars a pair, i wanted all of the shoes, but of course they have shoes for cinderella's feet, not her step-sisters! :-) oh well, at least i have beautiful feet on the outside, who cares what the shoe that covers them looks like.
well its late...haha 9:41pm but this let lag is taking its toll.
goodnight world. much love to you all.
