So yesterday during school all the kids got to do the talent show at school. They seemed to enjoy it and for the rest of the day we got to play games with the kids and watch movies. WE played bingo and watched the movie "up" in chinese. interesting experience. After school we all got to come back to the hotel until 10pm at night...which was amazing because we got time to relax. Kelsey and I decided to go and explore the hotel since we haven't had time to see where we are staying. We went to the dinning room to see what was for dinner, and after taking a look at the menu we opted to not eat dinner. The choices were: mashed potatos with orange juice, duck blood in a chili sauce, and a bunch of other stuff that didn't sound to wonderful. So last night we didnt eat dinner, but we came back to the hotel and got ready to go CLUBBING!
We all went to this club called MINT in Shanghai. Its was voted best nightclub in Shanghai. It reminded me a lot of Vegas, and it was on the 24th floor with all glass windows so you could over look all of Shanghai city which was beautiful. We got apple martinis and the club was giving away free jungle juice shots all night. I didnt have to many cause i felt a little sick from the night before. WE literally danced all night though! We started getting everyone dancing around 10 (first ones on the floor) and we didnt leave the club until about 3:30. There were a lot of foreigners there which i was surprised. We met people from france, england, germany, portugal, etc.
When we got back we went to sleep because we had such a long day.
This morning we woke up and had a day off. We went shopping all day and bought some really cool souviners. Tomorrow we get to go the bag lady who sells really really good authentic fake designer purses. We ate at this cafe place today which was so refreshing because i had ice cream for the first time in months, fresh fruit, vegetables, etc. One thing about China is that every dish is either fried or meat. It gets old. At the market today this guy came in and started spitting all over the floor. I dont understand how anyone here thinks that its normal. There are like marble floors all over the gorund and people just walk in stores and spit. its disturbing. i guess the government is trying to fix the problem, and my teacher said its improved from past years, because people use to pee on the street and poop, but still! Then another guy asked me if i wanted to follow him to his shop to get a tattoo on my arm? i was like "yes, please take me down the ally, so i cant get a tattoo by a practically homeless man and please let me catch a disease while im at it." lol. This place is entertaining. There is always something to do or see. It was pouring so bad today that being in the rain for 2 seconds would literally drench your whole body. It was intense! I think it was so heavy because we were closer to the typhoon that is going on here.
We just got home. I cant believe how fast this trip is going! Im having so much fun i dont want to leave. im going to miss all of the friends that i have made here and the people that we work with.
more tomorrow :) Time to sleep :)
