Today I woke up late, went out for only like an hour or so, then slept from after lunch until 7.....then ate dinner.... and now i'm going to sleep again. I don't know why I keep sleeping. Maybe it's all the sleep debt I've accumulated from debate camp. eat sleep eat sleep. its my new rhythm. 

Ok so this morning I went to some temple, which I dont even understand nor do I know what its called, but apparantly its one of three great temples in China. Ok so my cousin tells me its called Teng Wan Ge. Apparantly some country king wrote some piece of literature there. or something. Obviously I don't understand my Chinese history at all. All I know is that it was so freaking hot. 

I got to see the city scape from the tower though, it's pretty - a lot more developed than I had thought. At the top of the tower, we watched this Classical Chinese performance - a traditional orchestra played Butterfly Lovers, which is such a good song! It makes me want to take up er hu again. Apparantly my cousin can play Gu Zhen. Is it bad that I don't even know what my counsin's name is? I just call her "mei mei" - which is what everyone else calls her.

After dinner, we went to "ba yi ji nian ta" or - August first memorial - it's to commemorate the communists fighting against the guomingdan for the first time in Nan chang on 8/1 1927. There was this whole sidewalk with a timeline about the communist party army history. They were selling these little doggie balloons that were SOO cute! Its like, those metallic balloons, but its full with helium only to the point that it rises from the ground a little bit, and there are legs hanging off of it, so that when you walk its like you are walking a little dog! How cute!

So my aunt still hasnt bought the train tickets to Yunnan yet.. she says that if she can't get them that we will just drive over... 6 people in one car driving for four days? I hope not. If we can't get them, maybe I will just fly to Hubei first and see my dad's family - Hubei and Jiangxi are right next to eachother.

So I need to go to sleep early tonight because I slept way too much today and we didnt get to do half of the stuff that we were planning on doing. So goodnight!
