Kung FU PANDA!!
This one is for Mackenzee.. :)
at the National Art Gallery So I don't have any new pictures today, except one or two from a birthday party we had, but its been a very cool couple of days. The new revolution I have had is that, people LOVE to just laugh, no matter what race, religion, or place of birth. This should be a very obvious statement. However, in my life I have come across people that don't really feel the same way as I do about this. But this is why I came to this conclusion.
I have been pretty just like "down" for about a day here, (just some dumb stuff) and so I decided to get over my fear of traveling by myself. I think I have this fear because here, most everything is mass transit, and coming from Juneau, I never had any available to me. So I just decided last night, that I would just WALK... and Walk I did. I just walked out of the school parking lot, and just walked, not really caring where I was going to go, or who or what I would do.
So I walked, and walked. I saw some very interesting stuff, a waterfall inside of a
little housing section, a building that i wasn't able to go see because it was too far back, and it was late by the time i saw it, and the mountains. I don't know if I have ever mentioned it in my blog, but When i wake up in the morning, I have the best view ever... EVER.. i'm surrounded on 3 sides by mountains. Its pretty amazing when it rains, the day after you can see everything on the mountain. Its pretty sweet. But okay, so now I'm walking, and So i decided that every bar along my little trip, I would have a beer (it ended up at being 6, but these are bigger beers than we have at home). So My first beer I just grabbed and walked on, but soon I was walking toward the mountain and was just drawn to it. So i decided to walk farther than anyone of the people here has thus far.
Long story short, I grabbed two more beers and ended up going as far as I could before a wall Blocked me in. However, at the end of this road, there was a bar. Outside were 4 pool
Megan and Me
Megan and me with a random ass girl tables, and some food (the food consisted of either octopus, squid, or something else I've never seen before). Well after sitting down and ordering my beer, and sitting down, I decided after 10 min. to actually ask someone if I could play with them. And I DID!!! I know some of you might not find that very interesting, but I thought it was so cool. Be it i got my ass kicked, but it was SO fun... It was kinda cool playing pool with someone that really couldn't speak english, and me not being able to speak Chinese, and playing something universal.
But then I started my trip back and walked down another road that we (all the other interns) have been on, but I decided to go further than anyone. I walked about a mile or 1.5 miles more than anyone else. It was very cool because I got to see a part of Beijing that really isn't seen that often I would like to venture saying. I saw someone living under a plastic bag basically. It doesn't sound that interesting, and it really isn't but i'm not really sure, but it seemed very just REAL.. if you
know what i Mean...
so anyway, thats my cool little story, and I think its pretty sweet. So Tomorrow i'm going the great wall, so that will be pretty awesome.
( i added some random Pictures to add this one up 😊 )
