I really love it here and the ability I have to travel while in this part of the world, I am taking full advantage of every opportunity. I am enjoying things here more every day, I am learning where things are in town and how to order my food. My teachers have been a big help. When I ask questions they always have helpful answers or they will go out of their way to find out for me. On Thursday night I am going to dinner with a foreigner here in Dajia I am sure he will be a great help in telling me where things are here. I also saw another foreigner today walking by my apartment building, he even waved to me!! Too bad they all go to work when I am going home, maybe someday we will hang out.

what are doraemon?
Dear Rachel: Your mom emailed me with news from Columbus and told me about your blog -- it's great to read about your experiences and see pictures of you, all grown up. I was just remembering meeting you at the Philadelphia Airport before you went to Germany one summer, about 12 years ago. Even then, the idea of eating something Other than American food was ... well, foreign to you! Please post a close up of these Doraemon that you have been buying? Are they like fancy refrigerator magnets? Love, Lee-Ellen
