My Host Family Emailed Me!

你好！

　　一年一度的中秋佳节即将到来，我们全家非常想念你。祝

你和你的家人节日愉快！

　　　　　　　　　　你的中国父亲

This is so nice! I still haven’t responded yet, and I feel kinda bad since it’s been a week or so. It’s on my to-do list though! I <3 my host family so much :D

Also, for those of you who don’t know Chinese, they are basically saying that it’s Mid-Autumn Festival soon, and the whole family misses me. They wish my family and I a happy holiday. It says “From your Chinese parents” on the bottom as well.

Wahhhhh I miss China!

At The Humble Administrator’s Garden-Suzhou, China

Bus stop at Mudu [木渎]. This is the outskirts of Suzhou :D

Cafe at Pingjianglu [平江路] in the heart of old Suzhou.

Roller coaster at Suzhou Amusement Park [苏州乐园]

The view from my school in China [Suzhou High School Affiliated to Xi’an Jiaotong University]

In Suzhou’s old town district. Found this street on my journey to find a bathroom :P

Back from Suzhou

But I’ve been really busy lately. I just want to let you guys know that I had the time of my life there in China…it’s something I will never forget. I’ll update you guys later, but I have so much stuff to do. It sucks when you have to come back to reality….

I’m in China!

So I have really spotty internet connection, but tumblr isn’t blocked here…YAY! I still probably won’t be able to make posts of what I did everyday, but I did put all my journals and pictures together and I’ll post them later when I get a chance (maybe I’ll have to find an internet cafe). So see you later for a while, and if I don’t reply to your message, it’s not that I don’t like you, it’s just that I don’t have the time or resources to respond. Thanks, and I’ll talk to everyone in 6 weeks!

Plus, it was 110 degrees outside today..this is crazy (and apparently really common)
