Sorry I haven’t posted in a while, I have had so much homework. Currently my day is class from 8 – 1130 then lunch/do hw then from 2-515 class then do homework till about 9 then study the next chapter till I passout. Learning a lot though, and quickly. My vocab expands about 40 words a day and speaking is becoming easier but damn they talk fast sometimes, can’t quite pick it all up. So Kunming the city is super beautiful and clean. It has a population of 6.5 million. My friend and I explored a shopping mall area as we tried to find the secret market our Chinese professor told him about. Buses in China are awesome. We found it but it was closed so we came back the next day. Don’t really have good photos of it though. So let’s move on to my room. A step up overall from Beijing we have mattresses this timeand there is a separation of shower and toilet. Fun thing we get to do is handwash our laundry because to do it is super expensive, here it is drying.

There was a huge thunderstorm the other night and lightening was hitting only a couple miles away on buildings, it was super cool to watch the light hit and then the thunder rattle the building. We found out we have a leak in our window so things got a little drastic.

There is a park right next to campus that is a huge lake with some islands in it and I walked around and interviewed Chinese people forhomework. Ha.

Also great thing is late night street food, everyone says they have stomach problems but I haven’t gotten any and I think it might be from the amount of spicy foods ive been eating or my stomach is a champion.

It is 1 kuai per stick and its like 6.3 kuai to a dollar… do the math… soooo good. Everything else is going good last weekend we went to the nationalities village so ill try and post pictures about that it was super cool.
