Mom's visit to China part one

Hello!!!!

It was so exciting to have my first visitor while living in China!!!  I was really missing home, and my mom came at the right time!  My mom, and spring arrived on the same day.  The first night we rushed all over the city on foot, cab, and the metro to meet my co-workers for dinner!  We ate at a favorite Chinese restaurant of my co-workers.  Chinese food is so different here than America.  For one thing there are no fortune cookies or egg rolls.  My mom  also had to eat her whole meal with chop sticks, I had forgotten how difficult it is the first few hundred meals. :) Just kidding but now I am a pro since I eat at least one meal a day with chopsticks.

The second morning we went for a run, and headed out to People's square!  We went to the park to watch the Chinese match making.  Every weekend parents bring their child's bio to the park in hopes of finding them a match!  The bios tell salary, height, age, and some even include a photo.  We also some people training with swords while in the park.

Happy hour on the rooftop of  Fat Olive!!!
