To Who this may concern,
I have found the mother land, I will not be returning- China has nuttella. And Fruit Loops, and milk in a bag. Which is surprisingly awesome. Included in today's post are pictures of my room. I have a pretty sweet bed, way bigger then anything I've ever had before. The down side is that its hard as a brick. I dont know why, but Chinese beds are like raised floors with sheets. It continues to be gorgeous here. I am just outside of th fourth ring of the city. (there are 5 rings) so im away from the brunt of the polution, which entitles me to a view of the sky. huzzah. Yesterday my host father took me to the police station to get me registed (in the off chance i cause great havok among the people and need to be dealt with) an took me to get a phone plan (the phone i have to go find myself somehow... ive been told itsnot that hard but eerything seems way harder in another language.) the phone will probably cost like 50 buck US which is pretty steep, but really really need one. Ive found the closest ATM and i know im supposed to take the 482 bus to school. The complex in which i live is really pretty with a small pond and marble tiles scattered occasionally across the sidewalks. sweet. The house itself is a prettygood sized apartment.
Today (friday the 11th) I am going to go register at Bei Da, and see everyone else from the program. Also on the agenda is finding out my address, and hopfully socializing, for it is what i miss the most right now (horrible Chinese skillz = very lonely Ashley)
catch you on he flip side,
A.
