feeling the movement.

there is a movement going through this city and it is powerful, greater things are yet to come. today we went to the oldest part of town and took pictures. we went through some very poor villages and played with a bunch of kids. i love the children here, i would love nothing more than to move into their village, live with these kids and play with them everyday. one little girl went and got her barbie doll when she saw us, she wanted to show her to us. it was precious. the little baby in the picture kept following me, smiling at me and wanted me to hold him, it was adorable. 

the first picture was from dinner tonight. we went to a place on the street and had hot pot! it was so yummy! most of the smaller places put toilet paper on the table for napkins and the nicer places charge you 1-3 yuan for a package of napkins. so, i thought the toilet paper amongst the many sauces was a nice picture. 

after dinner we went out with a new friend of ours to get coffee and we got to share the story with her. the coffee from this area is strong, yet really really good. 

today i had my first feeling of sickness, and get this, after eating at pizza hut. go figure huh? i have been eating dinner off the streets every night and brushing my teeth with tap water and the "western" food makes me sick. haha i guess i can just say its a sign that i should stay here and only eat chinese food. :-)

man, i do not want to leave here. i have come to love the noise, the traffic, the smells, the random "hellos" with a very strong accent when i walk by. i just love this place. china has a very distinct smell and i know i will miss the smell once i get back home. 

well, i need to go to bed now because our wake up call will probably earlier than we expect tomorrow.

check your feet and make sure they are being beautiful!
