China has been an adventure! All I know is that I am sad to face the fact that I will be leaving here next Saturday. My sisters and I, along with my grandpa will be going back to the U.S. next Saturday, August 9th. Honestly, I think this is the best thing to do. Both of my sister recently fell ill. Linda has recovered from her weird stomach pains, but now she is suffering from sore pains throughout her arms and legs. She says that she thinks they are sore pains, but she does not really know because she does not know how to explain. Still, seeing her tortured face and hearing her sighing from the pains makes me feel bad because I cannot help her take away her pain. As for Amy, she recently got a fever a few days ago. The first day she caught the fever, it was so tough on her that she cried. Now she is doing much better, but she is still slowly recovering. From watching her, I can tell that she is still weak, but she is getting stronger everyday. I KNOW THAT LINDA AND AMY ARE STRONG, SO I BELIEVE THAT THEY WILL SURVIVE THIS SUDDEN ILLNESS AND RETURN TO THEIR REGULAR SELVES! I AM PRAYING EVERYDAY THAT THEY WILL SOON RECOVER SO THEY CAN BE MY REGULAR SISTERS AGAIN! THOSE OF YA'LL READING THIS, PLEASE HELP ME PRAY FOR THEM AS WELL TO RECOVER A.S.A.P. IN ADDITION, PLEASE HELP ME PRAY THAT AFTER THIS ILLNESS AND THEIR RECOVERY, THERE WILL BE NO AFTER EFFECTS! PLEASE!
As for the good adventures we experienced, my sisters and I all got a haircut! My new hairstyle is definitely different because the front looks short, but from the back it looks long! All I am trying to say is that, majority of my hair is cut short, while the rest in the back is long. In addition, I have bangs now!!! Linda's hair looks completely different, her hair is short and her bangs are all in one length above her eyes. Amy's hair is still very long, the only big difference about her hair is that her bangs are all cut in one length above her eyes. Both Linda and Amy had their haircut and their hair straightened, which took about 3 hours. The hair salon was amazing. It was a 3-storied place, the first level was for the haircuts, the second level was for the nails, and the third level was for the hairwashing and masash. (however, u spell it!) I'm telling you, my hairwash took an hour because the salonist washed my hair and gave me a masash. It felt great afterwards!!! On the other hand, I felt back for my sisters because straightening their hair took hours. First of all, their stylist had to cut their hair. Then they sent them to another room to have chemicals put into their hair. Afterwards, both my sisters had to sit for about an hour to wait for the chemicals to soak into their hair. After this, they washed out the chemicals and started to straighten their hair with a straight iron. Last but not least, after their hair was straightened, they had to get their haircut finalized by the stylist. WOW!!! (I know right, it is a long procedure!!!) It is just as bad as getting a perm because they can't get their hair wet for at least two days. O.O I took many pictures, but I am not sure if I can include some with this update. Surely, I will try my best to figure out this computer! Well, that is about all I have to say! I need to go, bye! Take care!
P.S. I can't seem to figure out how to put pictures on here for now. I will put some pictures on here as soon as I can!

Two Weeks in China!!!
你好 (Hi in Chinese!) What has everyone been doing? I am having the time of my life in China!
Guess what? My relatives got me a cute little QQ pet! I named it Happy (開心) in Chinese!!! Right now, my little QQ pet (a girl penguin) is at level six, it just began going to school!!! Isn't that cute? I think so! Btw, if any of ya'll r wondering what QQ is, it is a messenger like MSN that is big in Asia. The only real difference is that the sn is numbers, mine has nine numbers! Do any of ya'll have a QQ? If so, please add me if u know how to type and understand english.
Currently in China, I took many pictures of the foods and places I visited. I feel very happy because my relatives bought me a lot of Fahrenheit stickers! They look so good, Fahrenheit is the best! Plus, they bought me a few books to help me learn how to write Chinese. Isn't that cool? I decided that one of my biggest goals for this year is to learn to write and read Chinese. My cousin here taught me how to write my name and my two younger sisters name! The Chinese language is really like Art when it comes to writing it. Now I want to learn more, especially learning how to write Yan Ya Lun! ^^ I miss Ya Lun because I haven't been able to check his blog to see what has been going on in his life. Still, I know he has been doing his best! Keep up the good work Ya Lun!
I may make it sound like everything is going smoothly, but it isn't really. My second younger sister has not been feeling well for the last week and a half. I think it is because her body is not used to China's atmosphere and food. Whatever she eats, she wants to throw it back up, her head and stomach has been in continuous pain. Her head sometimes hurt so much that it even effected her right eye. What am I supposed to do to help her take away the pain? We took her to the hospital today to get it checked out. However, the doctor said that nothing is wrong with her. They had an X-Ray taken of her stomach and said that all her body organs looked healthy. The doctors suspects that she may have been eating something wrong that has been causing her abnormal pain. I think that is weird because for the last week and a half, she has not been eating much at all. She hasn't been having an appetite to eat anything, so how could she be eating something wrong? I don't know! All I know is that the doctor gave her some pain medicine to take for her stomach and head. She is supposed to take it for a day and if her conditions does improve, then everything is okay. On the other hand, if her pain continues to happen after experimenting with the medicine for a day, they want to see her again to give her a shot in hopes that it can cure her. Please, for those of ya'll that are reading this, pray for my sister Linda. Pray for her condition to be nothing serious and that she will return to her 100% health soon! Thank you! I know she is a strong girl, she will be able to survive this no matter what! I believe in you, Linda! Do your best and never give up!
In addition, when I accompanied my sister to the hospital, I discovered that China's health system is definitely different than the U.S. I mean when we first walked into the X-Ray room, the nurse there didn't even say hello. It took about 5-10 minutes to find out what are we supposed to do in order to get the X-Ray. Overall, what I am trying to say is that the hospitality in China is not as friendly as it is in the U.S. My family in the U.S always warned me about this, but seriously, when I first encountered this here in China, I was shocked. Besides my sister's illness, that is about the only downfall to China so far! Well, I have to go! Take care everyone! 再見! (bye in Chinese!)

A Week In China!!!
Hey people! How is everyone doing? I hope everybody is doing something awesome this summer!
I have been doing great! Like stated in the title, I have been in China for a week now. The living and lifestyle is completely different like I expected, but I still like it. Honestly, it took me a few days to adjust to the new environment, but now I am fine. I haven't been able to go to the famous tourist attractions such as the Great Wall of China because they are too far from where I am staying. However, I love my family because even though they are busy with their own life, they still make time for us. For example, they know that we want to to see places, so they would make time to take my sisters and I shopping. Plus, they are willing to buy us anything we want, which makes me feel more spoiled than I already am. How can people like being spoiled? I feel so dependent that it makes me feel bad.
Oh, I am definitely impressed at the lifestyle over here. I mean for one, the roads that the Chinese drive on is so dangerous. In the U.S all the roads are regulated and it is mainly cars traveling. As expected, over here people, motorbikes, and cars drive on the same roads. It's like the law on the roads are not that strict. The people are not afraid of the cars at all. Plus there are so many people that I think if I drove on the roads here, I would definitely get into an accident. O.O Also, I am also very impressed on their fast food restaurants here. All the McDonalds and KFCs I have seen here are two stories tall. I am just so not used to seeing that in America, so when I first saw them here I freaked out. My initial reaction to these huge fast food restaurants were, "HEY!" This is awesome, it is just like the fast food restaurants I see in Taiwanese dramas!!!" Aren't I silly? So many different places impress me here that I have taken about 400 pictures. The pictures I have taken here are mainly of the places I have been to and different scenery I have seen. However I can promise that by the time I return to the U.S, I will take more pictures of the people here as well. ^^ Well, I am going to go, bye!
P.S. It's sad because I can't view Arron's blog. I learned from my cousin that since China is not in good terms with Taiwan, we are restricted from visiting many of the Taiwanese sites! Boo Hoo Hoo!!! I miss his blog!!! However I am happy that I am closer to him in distance! Plus, I bought a Fahrenheit puzzle last week! It is awesome because though it has a 1000 pieces, Arron looks very attractive! I Love Him!!!
