As I mentioned before we got street meat that was so repulsive this week and that just had this smell that now whenever I smell that smell I throw up a little in my mouth. Sorry for the nasty image
We found this one restaurant that is a life saver with the
food cause its like decently good. Definitely not something I’d pick to eat at
home but its way better than anything else we’ve found. They have these garlic
lo mein noodles that are actually delish which are only 12 yuan which is like
$1.50. They have dumplings too so I figure if I eat their dumplings once a week
I’ll have enough meat to last me till I go home and pig out on all the foods I’m
craving right now. No way im eating the mystery meat grossness they serve us. I
bought soy sauce so I can just eat rice and soy sauce for lunch and dinner. I don’t
even like love rice. But can you say HELLO RICE CHEEKS??? As if my cheeks weren’t
already chubby enough. Cheeks only a mother could love hahaha
Did you know that Chinese people have absolutely RUINED ice
cream? Like hmmm ice cream that sounds delicious and should be a treat to look
forward to on a hot summer day. NOPE. Theirs is like thick, thick, thick and wayyyyyyy too
sweet whipped cream with air in it its so weird.
People here ask to take pictures with us all the time. Or another favorite...they try to sneak pictures of us in a totally obvious way haha.

Church here is either a 2 hour drive each way or we Skype in. Today we Skyped in! It felt so short! I'll probably go to the actual branch once a month to take the sacrament. Apparently they can still ask you to give a talk even via Skype.
After church we went to the Zhongshan Hot Springs which is this way cool/totally relaxing resort with natural hot springs that they have infused with like teas and wines and coconut milk. In one there were minnows that would eat at your feet. It felt SOOO weird and ticklish. I had this to die for fresh squeezed OJ/mango juice while relaxing in the hot springs in some jungle in Southern China. Isn't life crazy?! We even managed to get to the hot springs via taxi with no real verbal communication without getting lost! That's a win if you ask me!
Guess what??? I hand wash my clothes and air dry them for
the world to see. Everyone does it here but since its so dang humid it takes days
for even light shirts to dry. Jeans…like a week! Man America is great with its
washers and driers.
I bought my own blanket and another towel this weekend and man I'm already stoked about it.
Trying my best to have a good attitude in this crazy foreign place!
You're so adventurous!!! You should try to make up the recipe for that juice ;)
ReplyDeleteI could never brave the fish pedicure! Good for you:) You deserve some relaxing after a stressful week. Love ya - Katie
ReplyDeleteSo glad (and impressed) you made it to the hot springs and back home again! The hot springs sound awesome but I am with Katie, I don't think I could do the fish pedicure:). You are quite the adventurer! Hopefully you can find the fruit market this week! You are awesome to be doing something so different and hard! You go girl
