Well, today was kind of fun because we did activities that were out of the ordinary. We walked around and went to a park with pretty lights and games for kids. They also had a huge triumphal (I don't know if that is what you call it) with a large screen t.v. for the news. We played in kids bumper cars and then we ate at a BBQ place we went to before dinner. We also got another massage and for some reason I think I am more sore now than I was before the massage.
It makes me laugh when I hear American songs play. During the massage they had Fergilicious by Fergie playing over the speakers. And when I wake up in the morning to fireworks and horns honking sometimes I hear an American song like that 80's Jane Fonda one.
Tonight is New Year's Eve but nothing seems much out of the ordinary here. People I guess only really celebrate Chinese New Year. The only way I really celebrated was during our bumper car ride. Each little bumper car has a song that it plays and one with a little kid driving like a true China man trying to run us over was playing Auld Lange Syne.
Earlier in the day we went to where the two rivers meet in the city. There is also a park and a city wall. It was nice to walk around and watch all the people. When we were walking on top of the city wall Liz and her cousin saw a lady selling dofu now and yelled at her to walk to the end so that we could buy some. Hah, I do a lot of eating here.
Well, Happy 2007! Enjoy the festivities for me. Hopefully I will be learning Majan tomorrow. :)
