met some great friends who i wish i had more time to spend around. But in my free time it will much fun im sure! a group of girls who dance and teach classes and attend classes so i think i will be joining them soon. cant wait!
today i ate strawberries in milk with honey drizzled over them and mei ling looked at me like it was the most disgusting thing she had ever seen. I can see how like somethings wouldnt translate pallet wise, but strawberries and milk? maybe its the dairy thing? she asked me if i wanted to put salt on my strawberries, which im not opposed to trying but honestly i prefer the sugary kind. Anyways things like this happen pretty much everyday here and i think its hilarious. Especially trying not to choke from laughter while happily eating my strawberry concoction, and mei ling staring at me jaw dropped as if i was consuming a human head with parsley bit by tiny bit....i love it here.
Also another cool thing is that i definitely get to go to Vienna in the summer now with natlie and portia for her choir field trip. So will be back in tx for most of june and then shipping out at the end of it for vienna for a week or so, then if i decide to go to "the circus" as i now call it because i dont feel like explaining what it is anymore, then i will literally get back the day before i start so i will probably just not worry about living arrangements and stay with the folks for a week or two whilst i find a place to live closer to the highlands. This all assuming that i chose the art route. Otherwise ive got no stinkin clue.
in other news...here are some pics of things as of late....
We went with natlie to an amusement park called Happy Valley in english. I still find it really funny reading all the english signs at places like this. Especially "pleasure boat pier" as it were called. This is natty on this places version of the mad hatters spinning tea cups ride.
This is Jane, in english, or Woo Tei Ying...which is def not how you spell that but that is what it sounds like. Jane is beautiful. Its amazing how much we can communicate considering we dont speak each others langauges at all, and even this, but we speak just about the two most opposing languages i can think of. Completely different alphabets, ages, origins, and yet seem to always be cracking up together, the world is so small, its so small.
Im not really sure if this will resonate with anyone else but these are just some statues of clowns at the amusement park that were really trippy and awesome and handpainted, remind me of a time burton circus...which should probably happen..anyways this is the side view of my favorite one.
Here are his feet up close. :) love.
Natty and I rode the carousel together, and in slightly surreal moment, i realized that she is slowly beginning to trust me and becoming comfortable with me, and thing are getting better. I love this picture of here, maybe its the pose, maybe its those mirrors. She loves stuff like this, but not as much as she loves disney princesses and avatar. I have seen avatar about 10 times since being here in both english and chinese. We just keep replaying it, she told me she thinks jake sulley is handsome becuase he has muscles. I think its funny that she has a crush on teh avatar and not the actor, is refreshing in a weird way. Also I beleive we will go to japan in march to see the disneyland there, i think its in tokyo but dont quote me on that.
Obladee Obladah.
Love hearing from you guys and miss ya like ya dont know.
