大家好，
Today started out like any other day. We woke up,attended tai chi, attended 3 hour chinese class, and ate lunch. Then, the fun started. We went back to our school, but instead of studying Chinese, we painted pandas and bamboo. I wasn't good, but those like Morgan and Jade were amazing. The best part of our day came next, shopping. The mall had multiple floors and tons of things to choose from. Strangely enough,the guys bought much more than the girls. It was nice to finally submerge into the chinese culture and be placed in a position where we had to rely on our chinese to get by.I played the lottery and won keychains.I know, cool huh? Chuang laoshig gave each of us 20 yuan(3 dollars) to eat at the mall. Three dollars goes a long way in China. Matthew, Max, and Alex decided to get Greek food in China and said it was suprisingly good. Ko, Rohisha, Morgan and I (Diana) got korean food, and the rest of the boys got KFC with everyones favorite Chuang Laoshi! Though our day was somewhat uneventful, we had an amazing time. Well, I hope you Portlanders are having a great time!

Love，
