Life in China

Was up my peoples,  I have made it to the motherland in one piece, hehe.  I will start blogging much more as soon as I get internet in my room.  The internet on campus is really slow so that is why I have not even tried to blog yet.  So anyways where do I start...hmmm.  Well I am chillin in Kunming and I have been here for about 5 days.  I have met some really cool people including my roommate who is from England.  He got a degree in Chinese so he has been very helpful.  Last night was really fun we partied at some peoples flat (English term) and then we all went out to the night market where all the discos are.  It was a great time.  We had a group of probably like 12 people many of whom are from Eastern Europe and women...^_^.  We partied all night!  Being in a Chinese night club is always interesting.  I was boogying down and all of a sudden got pulled into a line of people who were dancing around the club.  Vodka and warm beer were flowing all night.  It was fun to meet many of the other international students on that level so we could get to know each other better.  It's cool cuz most of them live in the same building as me and James (my roommate).  I still have not started classes yet and I think I will on Monday or Tuesday.  It is nice because all of the teachers and staff I have met seem really nice and helpful.  I have been walking around on my own as much as possible to try and see if I can survive on my own.  The other day I was shopping and I stayed in the store for like 2 hours trying to talk in Chinese with the people and then I went and got lunch with them.  I think I will go back there today.  I am going to teach the owners wife English and she will help me with my Chinese.  Also I might go buy a bike today so I can go riding around town with my friend Katka from the Check Republic.  Sunday I think we will take a trip out to the mountains to get out of town and get some fresh air.  Kunming is a little more polluted then I remembered and is very crammed with people.  There are 4 million people jammed into a little city.  I am having a great time so far and I am very glad that I took this opportunity.  I will try to take some pictures so I can post them on my next blog.  I have been busy just walking around and doing stuff that I have not had much time to take too many pictures.  I miss all my peoples back home and I hope everyone is doing great.  I am thinking about all of you here in China.  One Love, Adam
