Hello to Everyone: Loving Chinese Food

From Justina

Dear family and friends,

Well, it has been one week since I left for China, and I have had so many adventures. At the airport, nine of us got stuck in an elevator for 15 minutes. I have eaten at many Chinese restaurants. I try a new one every day. The food is delicious. I went to the flea market on Monday and Tuesday. They have a lot of stuff. I spent a couple hours there each day. On Tuesday it was pouring rain and my team teacher and I walked in the rain and got soaked.

Today I went to the town square. It was beautiful. There are many tall skyscrapers and a ton of people. I’ve tried to go clothes shopping, but all the clothes and shoes are way too small. My teaching is going well. I have only six students with ages ranging from 12-20. Now that we are getting to know our students, teaching is getting easier and more fun. I am healthy and everything is going great. I do miss some things about home, like normal toilets, and having soap and toilet paper in a public restroom would be nice. Other than that, I am having a great time. I miss you all and can’t wait to tell you more about my adventures.

Love, Justina

P.S. Happy birthday, Clinton!
