Lao Wai

As the last day of our 11day holiday arrives, I felt as I return to study I should also make a better effort with this writing, as it is really my last chance to preserve any sort of understandable English grammar. Have had a pretty uneventful few days. Highlights include a lot of active socialising and working on international relationships. Also made a visit to the beach.

I decided to skip the opportunity for a dip.

There is also an amusement park right beside the beach, making the area a bit of a domestic tourist hotspot. And by this I mean I will shortly be appearing on the highlights reel of many a Western Chinese person, in the same way one might show pictures of a lion or crocodile to friends feigning interest. I am just glad I don’t have blonde hair. Athony (other NZer) and Sylvain (French guy) took advantage of the $40 5m bungee jump above the sea. because they are idiots. However despite my misgivings about Chinese safety standards, they did survive.

Little else has real been happening, a lot of partying, sleeping and eating. I took the step of investing in a frypan after witnessing fried rice being cooked, and marvelling at its ease. However am yet to try, though 2 omeletes have been made, using multiple cheeses at the French guys insistence. First real breakfasts in China though.
