Yesterday and today are the first, blue sky sunny days we've had for several weeks now. I've never realized how happy the sun makes me feel; now that it's come out, I really hope it will stay for a while.
On the track this morning, there was a lady running backwards. Chinese are really in to this running backwards thing. They even climb up and down the mountain backwards. I decided that I'll give it a go and try it, but it's still strange.
We've sent packages home finally. But be warned, it'll take about 2 months to get there, I think. Sorry. The mail is slow here, as slow as it can be. Sharon and the Her family sent us a Christmas card, and we didn't get it till February. But we loved it all the same.
There's a restaurant that Josh really likes to eat at. But it's really ghetto. They have a dog, and it'll pounce around the place, on tables and chairs while you're eating. Also, at this same place, we've seen the waitress wash her face, wipe it on a table cloth at the table next to us, and then proceed to take our order. Also, this guy walked into the restaurant holding a flapping raw fish. And then served Josh a bowl of rice. I think he washed his hands, but I bet he didn't use soap. (Josh said he didn't wash his hands at all. Sick.)
While on the topic of gross and food, one thing that never ceases to amaze us is the amount of food service people that pick their nose and then serve food. We've seen it enough to feel alarmed, and only hope to never see our waiters doing the same.
Also, at the supermarket today, Josh saw the butchers sitting around the butcher table. They're wearing butcher aprons. There's a counter with regular cutting boards. And there's also a huge circle laug caam made out of a tree stump, just like the moob's people's house. There's like, bits of meat and blood and stuff around. And what are they doing? EATING PEANUTS! butchers eating peanuts! Putting the shell on their mouth, with their hands!, and then spitting them out.
Before we go, here's a last one for you all. What does a $30 (180 yuan) apple in China look like? See below!

We don't know how the picture was put on the apple because part of the apple skin. But all in all, yes, the apple is that huge, like half the size of Josh's head. And yes, that it is a flaming Buddha.
