I see white people!

Yesterday in the city I saw THREE, yes THREE white people. They were the first white people besides myself and Tom I have seen since leaving the airport. Three in one day! One was wandering the streets. If my camera had been charged, I would have snapped a photo of the man it was such a rarity. The other two were in an English teaching school.

My thought is that the foreigners are hiding in the city, whilst most of my time is spent in the suburbs. It's okay. I was just happy to spot a few. And Friday night Tom and I bought fried chicken from the grocery store and it tasted like Popeye's spicy chicken! Oh man, even though I like Chinese food I am craving American food. Fried chicken. Hamburgers. Pizza. Pork chops. Coffee. I just realized that my blog is about food about half of the time. For how much I like food, it is amazing that I manage to maintain my slim figure. Must be the mini-trampoline I jump on 100 times every day.

So obviously yesterday Tom and I were in the city. One of his students took us to the city with three of her friends. Their names were Zero, Krista, Leech Queen, and Fly. They have awesome English names. They gave us bags of milk for a snack, took us to the arcade, skating on the floor, and bought me a windchime and Tom some sunglasses. It was a very fun day and the weather was beautiful. One Chinese guy skated with me for a while, which entailed him pushing me backwards until I decided I'd had enough and made us both fall down very gracefully.

For dinner, one of my students had us over. We watched the Adam Sandler movie Click. It was in English, and the had English subtitles. But the subtitles didn't match what they were saying. They must have listened to the movie, written it down in Chinese, then re-translated it into English. It was HILARIOUS. I missed most of the movie because I was laughing so hard at the subtitles. Adam Sandler's character is named Michael, which, apparently, translates into "Exceeds a gram". It was just too funny.

I will write again soon. Lots of love!
