Seaweed Soup

Saturday I took the bus across the city for the first time. It was great being able to reach all of the hand rails. Explored the markets a little bit, had lunch with a friend, then headed home. We stopped for dinner and had the best sweet and sour chicken. And they served us a complimentary bowl of seaweed soup! For the past few days I've been craving seaweed soup, as that's my idea of "comfort food". It was so amazing that they brought it to us because I had no idea it was a chinese dish. The weather here is so nice, feels like the beginning of fall, nice cool days. Everybody speaks to me in chinese. Nobody quite believes me that I have absolutely no clue what they are saying to me. I can't wait to learn the language. It's nice to blend in here, it helps it make it feel more like home.

We Made it

After a 30 hour flight, we finally arrived safe and sound. The people and food are great! Everybody is about my height. I fit right in here.
