Been here 5 days now....

Ni Hao!

I finally have some time to write a quick hello :) Lindsay and I arrive in Shanghai Monday evening. We were surprisingly not jet lagged at all! So we went out that night with out organizer guy. Somewhere in the French Concession area. It was a lot of foreigners, but fun. We stayed up til around 4am! Hey -when in China right?!

A little recap so far: Spent the next few days touring Shanghai - the Bund, Pearl Tower, Shanghai Museum. Then Hangzhou - walked around the west lake and checked out the Wushan Lu night market. We are now in Guangzhou and met up with the other teachers we will be at the summer camp with. We had a traditional Chinese dinner at a nice restaurant tonight - out first big fulfilling meal. Headed to Zhuhai in the morning!! When I have more time I hope to put up pics and details :)

I'm in a hot smokey Internet cafe right now and its starting to get to me! I hope to update more when I get settled in Zhuhai. Wan An!

Really annoyed right now.... but only 2 more days to go til Asia!

I'm really annoyed with this blog right now! First off, it took forever to do my pics and then it freakin erased my entry!! Good thing I copied my entry before it got permanently erased. I'm trying this One more time, then giving up....

Hello all! Just wanted to post another blog before I get ready to leave on Sunday. I have been so busy with work and hanging out with friends and family before I leave. I've had SO much fun! It makes it a lot harder to leave, but I am so pumped for the adventures ahead! Since the soccer game the other weekend, I attended the bar crawl in Canton, had a BBQ over July 4th weekend, and just went to the Nats game last night (they won!). Dinner tonight w/ the girls :) I've had a great summer so far w/ everyone. I will miss you all!! Please keep in touch - I will check my email/blog comments as often as I can. The next time you read this I will be in Shanghi, China! One love ~Cara

11 days!

So 11 more days til I leave the country once again... I'm getting pretty anxious and excited :) I will be sad to leave my friends again, but I'll be back in no time. Speaking of my friends, we have been keeping busy with happy hours, dinners, floating in the pool, picking crabs and just hangin out. A few of us went to the DC United vs. LA Galaxy game on Sunday... HELLOOOO DAVE BECKHAM!!! He was so hot - even from the nose bleed section! Oh yea I also saw Mamma Mia on Saturday - very good! I have ABBA songs stuck in my head now :-D

Tomorrow is the bar crawl in DC! Can't wait to catch up with Jexa up there :)
