Catch up

China : Place of great food AMAZING PEOPLE and Fantastic Weather, and my new home for the next few months. It would defiantly be a place that i would recommend for students to go to for a study abroad programme. All his coming from someone who didn't Know any Chinese before he arrived. 
At least 5 times a day i have some very attractive girls ask for my number.
I go to lunch with about 10 or more people a day and they all asked me to go with them.
It is such an interesting place culturally historically and now in the modern age everywhere you look there is something new being planed out, built, designed or made.

Saying that you have to be prepared to also be alone some of the time and i mean alone.
almost 80% of the student population Knows or is learning English but you arnt always near them and it is a really odd feeling to be surrounded by people but know that know can understand you  its not that they are not nice its just that for most of the people up in till about 1985 they had never seen a white person or foreigner at all so you get stared at all the time most of they time tho as soon as you say something  a wide smile beaks across there face...............or they run away ( its happened ) its a sort of funny sight its like Godzilla.

Part 2 i went away from my computer to go play some basket ball my team had 

2 Japanese 
1 South Korean
1 Mongolian 
and me 1 American

against 

5 Chinese 

i was the only wight guy and it was a open court.......surrounded by people.......near one of the bigger cafeteria's on campus theres 8 each one is about 3-6 floors. INSANE. so all in all about 300 people watching. Hows that for popularity defiantly more then my high school basket ball team. To make a long story short we lost horrible you can really see why the Chinese won like all the gold medals during the Olympics they are always doing some kind of sport.
Well that's all for right now I'm sure ill be on later hello to everybody who is reading this and if you are a repeat reader please leave a comment with your first name i want to see how many there are  thanks
