A Mostly Normal Day

One of our teachers has a bunch of visitors from her hometown here today. A couple of them sat in on my first class this morning, which made my lesson easier. I gave the students time to ask them questions toward the end of the hour, so that filled up the last fifteen minutes or so for me. One girl in particular asked some really interesting questions. She's hoping to study abroad next year, so I imagine that she's really intrigued about life outside China.

Tonight I'll be going out to supper with the group and some Chinese friends. Maxwell will be there, so I should have a fun time even though I'm not a great conversationalist with new people. Maxwell and I went downtown on Saturday afternoon looking for a guitar case and some shoes better suited to sanda. We had supper at Pizza Hut, which Maxwell thought was "luxurious." The Pizza Hut here is pretty nice, but Maxwell's skilled at overreacting. He's a great guy.
