a good weekend
Well this past weekend was nice, the group from Barton came to visit and I was able to show them around Hangzhou. It was nice to see people from home. It was quite funny though to see their reactions to life in China. I guess I was the same way when I came here but seeing people experience culture shock for the first time while being used to it was a little different.
I got to do a bunch of tourist sites with them while they were here and that was fun because I sometimes forget about the tourist sites here. I guess when you live in a place you don't think about the tourist stops. It was nice to have somebody who could relate to the joys of drinking sweet tea.
The Brandy Club threw a party on Friday, we put up signs in preparation for the party and overall had about 70 people show up which was crazy. Brandy was there and many people were inducted into the club. It was good times, overall the weekend was a lot of fun.
Today's Friend, Tom. Tom comes from a place called New Zealand. Contrary to belief by some, it is not an island of Australia. Tom is a religion and philosophy major and a Chinese major. Willing to debate about anything, politics and religion are among his favorite topics. Be warned a simple conversation can turn into an intense debate before you can say, "Holy Sheep!" Tom is the go to guy when I need someone to go get jaozi with or when I am just bored. In the end Tom is just a good guy all around. I am lucky to have made friends like Tom here in China. So Tom I raise my glass of tea to you (I am probably going to raise yours too because I am afraid you will spill it on yourself).
