Blog 2: April 4, 2015, on an overcast day, we took the bus to the river where we viewed the tall skyscrapers fading into the clouds. The tall buildings along the third longest river in the world were shrouded in the mist of the clouds where their heights could only be imagined.
We walked along the Bund and there were a lot of Chinese people trying to take pictures of us! After eating lunch we bought some cotton candy, and shared it between each other.
I am visiting my dad's home country and I am very excited because I never thought I could ever be in China. Thanks a lot, Mrs. Wu.
It's now 2:00 in the afternoon and we are on our way to the University. I especially enjoy the bus rides and being able to observe sights as we drive by.
Don't tell him I said this but since we've arrived from the plane ride I'm convinced that our guide is racist. The first lecture he gave us was about how the Middle Eastern population of China, who all don't look like us, were mostly terrorists.
The Bazaar and Yu garden were amazing sights. The restaurant where we had lunch was phenomenal as well. So far I've had tons of fun.
The food so far has been on point. They served us jellyfish at one restaurant, I'm a fan.
I've really liked all of the food we've had so far. My favorites are the fish eyes and jellyfish. The jellyfish was good because I didn't know what it was at first.
It has been really nice to continue to get to know everyone--making the experience that much better. The food has continued to amaze me with how delicious it is, as well as the culture that we are being emerged in.
I have been having a great time and can't wait to continue exploring. I feel very proud of trying so many new foods. I am definatly having a wonderful time and I am learning so much!
We followed Jackson's cotton candy to the parking lot and take a bus to Jiao Tong University.
