its been a long time since we've written. we've been out of town and came home to a messy house and tons of work to do. both things we dont like! also, Mai Kao and I were MEGA sick last week. i've come to realize that in China many times you just randomly get real sick. Fevers, coughing, cramping, etc...just out of nowhere. no symptoms, just one morning you wake up and know something is not right. then you go to work and it hits you like a ton of bricks and you go through the day like a zombie.
so this weekend Mai Kao and i visited Beijing (while we were sick) and had a great time. it is such a beautiful place. I was seriously floored at how beautiful much of the city was. God bless the Olympics for choosing Beijing and flooding them with billions of dollars to help beautify the city. here are some highlights from the trip.
- sitting the the great wall of china and eating a nice lunch with my bestfriend.
- walking through the Forbidden City and seeing the place where thousands of movies have been filmed. you know that scene in Mulan where thousands of people are standing in the courtyard? we where there and it was pretty cool.
- going to the arcade and playing racing and shooting games.
- eating Beijing Duck at a hidden restaurant that was pretty good.
- coming home and lounging on my couch.
Pictures will be up soon.
when we got home there was a present waiting for us. a package from home that contained birthday presents for mai kao, myself and mai kao's class. it was super awesome and we were so happy to get it. i'm sure you guys know how it feels when you are far away from home and your friends and family think of you. Thanks guys, we love you all very much.
josh out.
