Going to China!
« on: March 11, 2009, 06:13:20 PM »
I'll be spending my entire Spring break (thats two weeks!) in China with my Mandarin class. We're landing in Shanghai, and are going to Xi'an, Beijing, and South Jiangsu.

Needless to say, I'm pretty excited... I'm leaving at 5:00 AM on Friday!

Have a great trip Hampster!

Welcome back Hampster! :D What was it like? Did you have a hard time understanding the accent of the locals?

Ni hao ma? Wo hen hao, he wo shi meiguo ren.

Hey, how are you? I'm good, and I'm an American.

I saw all the tourist sites like the Great Wall and Terra-cotta Warriors as well as non-westernized places such as markets and Nanjing road. I ate scorpion, stinky tofu and thousand year old egg, and managed to acquire a large amount of of pirate video games that will be hitting eBay shortly.

Aside for the pollution, cities in China are much cleaner than cities in the US, and the police weren't as annoying as I had expected. I stayed with a seventeen year old Chinese kid for a few day which was pretty cool... I actually really like Chinese culture. I spoke as much Chinese as I know (which is very little :P) but didn't really have a problem communicating.

Almost I swear!

Once I figure this strange bug out I just need to copy and tweak the code to make it 2 player and I'm done  ;D
