Last night we had our first night out on the town.
It was so fun. First Chad played basketball with 5 other teachers at the school. He was defiantly the tallest out on the court. After the game the whole ILP group of us and 4 other girls went to eat dinner because the meals here at the cafeteria just weren’t cutting it the last few days and we needed substances. We went to a little hole in the wall restaurant where we just wanted Kung Pow Chicken and fried rice. In the translation books we found Kung Pow translation but no such luck with fried, and the menus don’t have any pictures and are completely in Chinese. So we ordered 4 plates of Chicken.
A few minutes later a group of engineers from General Electric came and sat at the table next to us and they spoke English. So we had him order us some fried rice and he soon became our friend. He got Chad’s email address so that he could practice his English some more. It was an interesting experience. We left with full stomachs and happy faces.
Next we walked to the market and got to experience a nightly ritual that was possibly may favorite thing so far.
Every night the older generations go to the market and dance! It was so much fun. On one side is couples dancing and on the other the ladies do line dances that are rad! I couldn’t help but think of my mom the entire time. Mom I know you would have loved it! I must say I was pretty good at all the line dances, I must have dancing genes in me.
It was so much fun.
We have videos of it, but the internet isn't quite fast enough to download them so we will keep trying
Love you all
