Things so far have been completely amazing! Everyone here is so kind. All of the Americans are present and accounted for- a really fun bunch of kids. We've made friends with the other foreign exchange students- namely a japanese kid who speaks chinese and english and an italian guy who speaks chinese, japanese and english. I know, right? It can make you feel very American.
Anyhow, the guys took us out to our first Chinese house party. The girls got very dressed up and we were all speculating in the cab ride over about how chinese people have a house party. When the cab stopped, we were at the foot of a towering marble building with spectacular views. The guy who owned the place was actually japanese and most of the people at the party were Korean. ANYWAY- we all had to laugh when we walked in because we were herded around a big table for dinner only to find that the custom food was....KFC. 12 hour time difference, foreign language, different side of the world- KFC.

Lovely,
How tall is "towering"? and was it really marble? and when will you post a picture of the view from your dorm, which you so tantalizingly described? God, I'd better stop before I fit into nina's description of pretentious art student dribble. Ending in prepositions...
I'm glad to hear you're having a good time, and that you're safe. I wonder if your height will prove a deterrent against mugging? Post pictures, so I'll have something to look at other than the four looms I'm now manning on a regular basis.
Much love

Hi Ri -- I'm closing my eyes and trying to picture what you're seeing. So very different than most of our frames of reference. Sounds like the trip is off to a great start, and I can't wait to read/hear more.
I'm in Santa Fe for the week, getting things finished on the house - which will be fabulous once it is finally finished. Can't wait for that either.
Sending much love,
Ivy
