Last night we went out to a meal around 10pm until 1am. Lately I've been eating four meals a day! I find that beef skin is a very delicious food - surprisingly. Also, it's very easy to be a vegetarian in China - because the vegetables here are so good! Not the unfufilling stuff you find in the states. These days I rarely eat any meat. Today I ate mushrooms that were sooo good. At dinner, my cousin's cousin on her dad's side who is one year older than me came to practice his English, but we didn't really speak much English. One thing I found was that the soy sauce here tastes much better than any other soy sauce I've ever had. The first time I tried it I didn't even think that it was soy sauce. 

Today I went to ManTingPark by bus- which was cool because I got to see local people- they had a peacock garden with many peacocks - the park not the bus - and they had a lame zoo with only a bear and a monkey. I even picked up 3 peacock feathers. I labored for so long to work on pressing my flowers today. unfortunately, pressing them didn't really work and they are still quite wet - and also some of the flowers started to rot - and turn weird brown colors. I am going to try to press them for another night. The problem is here that the climate is too humid to dry flowers - or anything for that matter, like clothes! My clothes have been drying for three days!

The other day my Aunt was driving us to the hot spring - but she had only been learning driving for two days so it was pretty scary. Her husband was next to her, but still..
