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!!!
