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!)
