The Holiday

So this is a little overdue, but I am trying to catch up on all the exciting things that have happened in China lately!  We have been having complications with the internet here, but hopefully I can get caught up!  

In China they have a week long holiday the first week of October that celebrates the Fall Festival.  Everyone gets the week off to travel to different places.  We decided to travel with our favorite Chinese teacher, Orange.  

We started out going to Zhenjiang to spend some time with Kendall and Paige.  We had a successful time at the night market.  It is probably my favorite place I have been shopping so far.

Then we met up with Orange, Hadlee, and Jess to head to xu'jou.  This is the hotel we stayed at.

The next day we went to many historical sites for the Han Dynasty.

That night we went out dancing in the streets.  Me and Jess got private lessons from this lovely old teacher. He was kind enough to set down his cigarette for us. haha

Also on the bus ride home there were so many people that they got stools out and just sat in the isles.  I am pretty sure that would break about 50 laws in America.

Unfortunately, I got very sick and wasn't able to go out the rest of the trip, but at least we had a great time traveling.  I am happy we had Orange to take us around and explain so much of the history.
