The Terracotta Warriors

The Terroccotta Warrior deserve a post all their own. 

Our Japanese friend

I was not disappointed in the slightest.

Massive update, continued

Drum Roll, please

MASSIVE BLOG UPDATE!!!!

It has come to my attention that I have seriously neglected this blog.  Here are my pictures from the last 2 months or so.  Hope you enjoy!

Trying on wigs.  Do I look Chinese now?

Riding the bikes at JoyMart

Going to the Zoo!!!

Grooming Tammi

Thine eyes doest not deceive thee.  I am riding a camel.  So far, much cooler than the Hogle Zoo

Playing with the monkeys a few seconds before the chinese monkey man comes starts yelling at me. 

The only kiss I'm gettin in China

Being cool

If I had just reached through the gate I could've touched a lion!!! 

So, I'm a bit overdue on this blog update thing (sorry Tiffany). Where to start? I recently (a week ago) turned the ripe old age of 21, and I must admit, I don't know if I like it. I mean, isn't 21 the last birthday people actually look forward to? Next time I get excited about a birthday will be whenever I get the senior discount at Sweet Tomatoes.  Alas. And I don't know if it's just because I'm in China, but I haven't heard anyone tell me I look like a 12 year old in a long time.  In fact no one seems a bit surprised when I tell them I'm 21.  Hopefully this is just a China thing, as the women all look really young here, but who knows.  I could be starting to look my age.  

Other than my woes about getting older, my birthday was actually quite enjoyable.  For starters we went to an amazing breakfast buffet at the Holiday Inn here in Hefei where we ate AMERICAN breakfast.  We had french toast, scones, omelets, waffles, the works.  It was an all you can eat and trust me, I ate ALL I could eat.  And even though I had to waddle out of the restaurant, it was totally worth it.  After breakfast I went back to my favorite hair salon in China (I've been to two) where they did my washed and styled my hair for free, since it was after all, my birthday.  After the salon we came back to the school to watch a movie and eat wonderful chinese cake (which actually has way good frosting, that I might prefer to american frosting).  Yay for turning 21! 

And I would write more, and possibly even put up pictures.  But it's time for dinner.  And so, until next time.  Which hopefully won't take another month.
