China, can you stop raining please?

so this past weekend we had school, weekend, school. sucks. but no big deal. Saturday night we went to a tea house as part of the program and played games and drank some tea. then we went to helens, our new fav bar, to celebrate Nirmal's bday. It was really fun and drinks are cheap there.

sunday morning I had chinese class, then we went shopping. and I got great gifts for my parents for their bdays! and a new handbag! it's brown, marc by marc, lots of pockets and zippers (so me), and only 100 kuai- $15! so cheap!

yesterday I had lots of class. It sucked. but chinese diplomacy was fun, we talked about xinjiang and tibet and it was awesome. my teacher said the dalai lama incites violence and rioting in tibet, interesting... we to helens again last night to chill out. My friend diggory let me ride home on the back of his bike, thought we were going to die. it's really hard to balance on the rack on the back. then we hit a bump and almost fell over (but we survived, don't worry)

today I went to my internship and we talked about freedom of speech and the internet and such, it was so great. (similar to the chinese diplomacy experiences)

just chilling now, getting ready for our trip to inner mongolia on friday!!! yippee!!

oh ya, it's been raining a lot. like ridiculously a lot.
