Traveling here was very long. i thought the day would never end! after the first 2 hour plane ride, we slept in the airport for like 3 hours until our next flight left. but then we realized we didn't have our boarding pass, so we had to hurry and find our terminal and get our pass, and check through the line in an hour. i was freaking out that we wouldn't make it. Nobody would really help us either! by the time we figured everything out we barley made it onto the flight! that flight was about 11 hours? then we made it to Korea and the next flight was 3 hours. THEN, we got onto the bus for another 13 hour drive to Weihai...it was the longest day of my life! we got to our school and unpacked then went to lunch. everyone stared and smiled at us. the food was alright? we had to order in Chinese to the people so Kelly, out Chinese helper told me how to say noodles. it was Wei-fan? or something like that! and they really weren't that bad. after lunch we went back and i showered in my bathroom, with freezing water. it was THE best experience so far. i was so excited to finally get clean and wash my hair.
Then we went into the town to the police station and they took our pics. then we went shopping!!! we walked down this shabby old street and walked into the supermarket and walked into this HUGE mall type thing? like a Wal-mart, but a mall. it was crazy.
it was crazy how everyone just stares at us and waves, i feel like a movie star! someone even took a pic of us as we were walking through the store..kinda creepy! lol i really do like this town tho, it's pretty cute.
my feet and back and everything else is so exhausted. we walk everywhere and there are tons ot stairs, i couldn't make it up the 4 flights of stairs with my suitcases, i almost broke down in tears after tripping and dropping my suitcase halfway up the flight and watching it fall all the way back down. whats even worse is that it's been raining non-stop since we got here. Maybe i should have listened to you and got a poncho...lol
