Part of freaking history Bro

so there is now bridge from shenzhen to HongKong. it will make stuff even nuttier than it already is. so basically two cities of 12-15 million just got a super easy connection. and one (HK) is stupid rich and one is woking on it. But we got to be part of the first people to ever use it, even if it was just to walk halfway across it and turn back. and even if it was 7am. still, FIRSTish still counts. there was about 20-30 thousand people there, just a drop in the old chinese bucket. Overall i give it a 5 out of ten on the worth getting up at 6am to go to meter.

easter rain

for the language centers Easter celbration our boss came around to all the classes dressed as some sort of really scary bunny. none fo kids had been told what happens on Easter so they were all pretty wierded out. Some had actually been told, and when they started to draw their easter cards they all put Jesus on the crucifux on it. It was pretty great to see that. I dont know their chinese teachers explained the link between our lord and saviour and a bunny who lays eggs. Shit i dont know how we can get over that little fact!

tau yuan ju

so a little while ago there was a celebration for the area that we live in, tao yuan ju. its just a giant housing development. They did about 10 different song and dance acts that told the story of how they conquered a mountain (with dynamite) and made this glorious place. it was entertaingng for the first half hour, the next two hours were rough. But it was kind of cool. they really went all out to celbrate their neighborhood.
