Tuesday was my first full day here in Canzghou. It has been wonderful weather so I have been walking around outside for a bit. Tuesday I went out to lunch with Fenfen and we ran into Edwina and Alistair (the other 2 English teachers). They are great and I am so happy to have finally met them and that we will be spending the next 6 months together. They came over to Shishi's and we played a game of Uno before Fenfen went back to school. I have been so tired, so after everyone left I crashed for a bit. Then Fenfen and I went over to Edwina and Alistair's for dinner. They are staying in my apartment before moving to theirs. The apartment is great, it's big, clean, has a couch!!, and the bed has a mattress!!!! I am very excited to move into the apartment. Staying at Shishi's is nice, but I feel like a visitor and am living out of a suitcase, I just want to get settled in. Dinner was very fun though. Edwina cooked and made a nice spread: potatoes, noodles, dumplings (so yummy) and veggies.
Wednesday was relaxing. I finally got more sleep. Not a great night’s sleep, but just more. The bed I am on is a little uncomfortable so I am still getting used to it, but I am getting in some good naps here and there. I went to lunch with Fenfen again, and I had the first meal of Chinese food that I loved!!! It was noodles from a place nearby. And interesting thing I am noticing is that all the buildings (apartments, restaurants, etc. ) have long, heavy plastic hanging in strips in front of the entry way, to keep bug out I assume. But anyways, my favorite meal…it was wonderful! Noodles and lots of vegetables. I am getting much better at chopsticks too. I am still not great, and I don’t use them the same way as everyone else but I am doing well. I still haven't had too much to eat here though. I go out like once of twice a day. And lately I have been so tired that, last night I slept right through dinner. But hopefully I will get caught up on sleep soon and I will be able to start a more normal schedule.
