Last day in Zhuhai!

Last day in Zhuhai! And last night with my annoying roommate! Another teacher, Serena, needed a new roommate so she and I will be rooming together in Shenzhen. Yeah! The exam this morning was really easy. I aced it, I'm sure. It was really just a formality anyway. They need all of us to pass. :) After the test I walked down to this island park about a mile away from the hotel. I wanted to get a few more pictures before we leave. It rained again earlier, so it was pretty cloudy. And the humidity makes my camera lens fog up, so taking pictures is not always easy. Afterwards I walked into town to Jusco to get lunch. There were three little girls playing on the stairway that all said 'hello' as I walked by. I said 'hello' back and one of them said "How are you?" So I said "I'm fine, thank you. How are you?" She responded perfectly "I'm fine, thank you!" They were so cute. We had our certificates awarded to us this afternoon and were told what our schedule will be for the rest of the week. Not only do we have a fairly invasive medical exam to look forward to, but also individual interviews by the police!

Now that I've been here for over a week now I'd like to share some interesting facts/observations about China:
1) Toddlers wear crotchless pants to make urinating in the street more efficient. While shocking at first (an old lady pointed a baby's junk at me the other day) it quickly becomes a normal part of the scenery.

2) After a while, even we start staring at white people. When I got on the bus today there was a very handsome (in a John Rhys-Meyers kind of way) man that I knew was not a part of our group and I could tell we were both trying not to stare at each other. And then I saw another unfamiliar white man at the mall and I stopped in my tracks. It's strange, but true.

3) Even when it doesn't feel hot outside, you'll still sweat your ass off. Today actually felt kind of nice, but it was still so freakin' humid I was drenched after my walk.

4) The restaurants with the best food don't have air conditioning. I'm starting to think it's a law or something.

That's all for now, kids. Enjoy the pics!
