Well Blogging has been slow
lately. I apologize for that. Things in china are going well. Its starting to get hot and with the hot weather comes bad smells. Especially on the subway. There is way too many sweaty people cramped into a
small space, but that’s china for you. Every day here I am becoming a little more Chinese. (No,
that doesn’t mean my eyes are getting slanted. Or at least I hope not). I did
make a new friend the other day. It is a restaurant owner down the street. He
is really friendly even though we cannot communicate very well. His name is Yuan Qing. The first time there I
was just walking by and wanted a little snack so I stopped to get a couple of
skewers of lamb. (Lamb is the best meat ever). The guy sat me down and started
just giving me free tastes of food. It was
awesome. Now he wants to take us out to meet girls haha. My teaching is going great. I
am making good money and get a chance to ask Chinese people questions about the
culture. I learned that in southern china you can eat baby soup. Yes made of
real baby. It ruined baby jokes for me haha.
I had a great opportunity to face my fear this past week by eating a tarantula.
It was gross. It tasted of peanuts and cobwebs. The texture was bizarre. The exoskeleton
makes it hard and crunchy. Once I bite into it, it crumbles into flakes and the
tastes keeps coming back all night Not cool. Well until next time.
