Hello Everyone!!!!  I made it to Shanghai Last night at 5:30!!  The flight was 11 hours long, with only one meal and two snacks!  Next time I will remember to bring my own snacks.  Customs was a piece of cake but trying to buy water with american money from a lady who didn't speak english not as easy.  Jenny and Gina (admin from the school) picked us up and have been taking us around.  The first night we went to a hot pot restaurant, you dip meat and veggies in boiling hot oil with chopsticks.  We ate bamboo (taste like flower stems) and lotus flower (really good).  Then I totally crashed.  This is all for today but we are getting wireless in a few days but right know my roommate  Ashley and I have to share the connection.  There is so much for me to share!!!!  I will download my photos tonight and tomorrow make a big post!!!

I love and miss everyone so much!!!!
