Last several days

Not a whole lot has happened since Wednesday night. Thursday night I talked to a language partner of ours. We spent a couple hours talking about China and the government and the economic differences between the country and the city. I found out some interesting things from him. Such as that Spring Festival is a bigger event in the country and that Chinese people don't like Japanese people. That is particularly true around Nanjing because of "The Rape of Nanjing."

Friday night our whole group decided to go to a local bar called "Castle." Two of the girls in our group had a little too much to drink. One was struggling to stand and the other made out with a forty year old man even though she has a boyfriend back home. I'm not sure if it's good or not but the girl who made out with the other guy doesn't remember doing it. Friday night we also saw a guy from our group and a lady friend of his walking butt naked down the hall. Overall, it was a very interesting night.

Saturday was a quieter day. We went to dinner where Roy our language partner ordered twice as much food as we needed. So the meal ended up costing a little over $3 which by Chinese standards is pretty high. After dinner we went home and watched a movie.

Sunday I spent most of the day trying to buy a bike. I eventually found a store selling bikes and bought a nice orange one. Hopefully the orange color will make it easier to spot. The bike with a basket and bell cost $30. Not to bad, especially if I can get some of that back at the end of the semester by selling it. Riding home on my new bike was a little different. Since I hadn't ridden a bike in years I struggled a little with my balance. I guess that's about all I've been up to lately. Talk to you all later.
