CHINA!

ok so i'm officially doing HORRIBLE at updating this whole blog thing...china is INSANE!!! there's so so many people and cars and bikes and motor scooter thingy's. and dirt. it's very dirty here. don't drink the water!! but it's awesome. i experienced my first taxi ride across town all by myself. scary! i also experienced what the chinese call a "pedicure"...not the same thing, just fyi. they come at you with big file looking metal blade things to cut your nails and rub the rough spots from the bottoms of your feet. the end, pedicure done ha. good thing it was only 30 RMB, which is roughly like 5 bucks. then i tried an hour-long, full body massage...let's just say i was way more sore and tight after the massage then before. gosh they push hard. and other weird things i won't mention. i easily see how people become vegetarians after seeing some of the meat/seafood stuff here. it's really gross actually. at night, all the vendors come out on some of the main streets and it's a complete mad house! trying to get a cab is just ridiculous! it's fun though, to see everyone and see the weird, random ways of life these people have. i still can't get over the driving...i just don't understand how people don't get hit like every 5 seconds! it's something to behold. everyone come here and join me!
