Welcome

For anyone who stumbles across this page this is where I will blog my adventure while studying in China. I started this because when I started I knew nothing other than to show up at the university on September 10th.. This will be my third time abroad, I have already studied in France and Japan.
My goal is to share the adventure and hope that someone other than my family and girlfriend will read it or learn something from it. Please look, read and comment.

**Updates**

*New Color Scheme & animations! Happy Halloween
*For fellow students I uploaded files for studying. The links are on the left.
*On the bottom of the page is a following gadget. Please add yourself to let me know that you follow this blog! Kind of like the friends from myspace!
*New Links on the left for new podcast. I have to admit the paranormal podcast is particularly awsome. And awsome props to touchstone, I can't live without your weekly podcast.

A real Weekend

So another update is nessesary. Well what can i say. I dont update this nearly enough. IT should be 3 times a day and now its only a few times a week. Well where did i leave off? Well thursday I went out to explore the town. Came across the biggest computer selling bit i have ever seen. a giant mall, 7 stories of stores packed all selling electronic stuff. From Cell phones to video cards. From headphones to cd drives. Everything if you wanted to trick out a dorm, buildd a computer or by the looks of some of the equipment build a time machine. I found something i have been craving. A writing tablet, a special pen and pad that hook up the computer. Wonderful device for taking notes, art, editing photos and best off, allows me to practice writing chinese characters.

Yes of course i could practice with a pen and paper, but then i wouldnt be sure i did it right, after all the slightlest odd ink bit makes a new character, with the computer it gets checked. If i do it right it it will reconize it, if not well practice.. It works wonderfully!

The next day i meet with some friends. Well honestly some friends of some friends. We meet, walk around a bit. Kan, Tong and Eva. Wonderful time, and Thank you Kan for the compass. I do carry it!

The next day was pointless except that i meet all my new friends for dinner. My roomate Elong, and Kan, Eva, tong, Larissa, and Jenny all went out to dinner with me. All are chinese natives except for Elong as he is a japanese student. We went out for a big feast. There was a pot of noodles and chicken (and i mean the whole chicken... Feet, head etc.), Spicy beef and veggies, Rice, Fish & Tofu, Green Beans, Cabbage and Beer. It was wonderful! A big round table with friends food and fun!! And we waited i think 15 or 20 min for food. it was wonderful. Not having to wait hours for food!

Afterwards we went out for kareoke! Oh yea! AWSOME! We had a little room all to ourselves. We laughed, sang and just made fools of ourselves. No better way right? What a wonderful Evening.

today i started researching vacations. WE have a week long vacation comming up. so of course it is time to travel!!

I am not done with registration for school But the school says on monday i should be able to finish. we shall see.
