My weekend

Last weekend, we had the newest adventure going out of the city. First we rode in a long and tiring bus, that made me feel constantly ill, and finally arrived at a tea pot factory where they made the old green tea pot there was a whole museum which we eagerly went into only to find out it was a waste of fifty yuan or 7 dollars. Where we looked at countless rows of the same green pottery. The back on a bus and heading towards a temple. WE were let of f the bus to my relief and emptyied into a town where 50000 of our favorite friends had all decided to take the same outings as we had. Before visiting the temple we decided to break our fast, for we had missed the majority of breakfast feasting hour. And we continued onward with a German family who now lived in the US and had daughters that were younger then us. We stopped at a good looking place, where a man we shaving noodles into a blubbling pot, we proceeded on to the seats, and found on our way, a huge rusty pot filled with the leftovers of someones soup. Half price we nervously joked, but little did we no that half price would mean one yuan or 20 cents. We were growing more anxious as we inspected the floor were an inch of grime lay. And it was also showered with spilled soup and then with a fine layer of trash. However we were all starving and so we went on to the seat and tried to avoid sitting on the gum plastered to an edge. It was the easiest place to order at. For you needn't order everyone got the same thing, a bowl of shaved noodles in a fantastic sauce. It was the best noodles we had had in all of or time here. SO far. ANd it was the cheapest. 30 cents per bowl. Our stomaches satified for now we raced into the throngs of chinese. We were pushed everyway, and then fell into a dozen more people because someone had stopped to stare at us, however this time there was another person who could take away some of the attention, the girl whose mother was from germany and father who was from America. We pushed them in front of us, and didnt gather quite as much attention. We hurried from side to side trying to avoid the mass of people, but even going to one side to great frogger[the videogame] skills, doggin each person five more taking there place. When finally we reached the temple. And it turned out bveing closed, of course we could wade in though the mass of black heads for a least another 30 minutes and make it to the othertemple, but we were already exausted by all the sounds ringing in our ears. WE went back the way wehad come dogging people surging forward before someone could take your place, then came the horses, the stallions surged forward in the crowd as well, summing up all the chaos that there already was to making it unreasonable chaotic[is that spelled right?] We hurriedly bought some popcicles and sucked on them while my dad got his first two pictures and Julia another picture taken and I got a picture request. WE continued back to the restaurant more to avoid the crowds then to eat more soup, but julia and I still gulped down spoonfuls of the spicy soup. Then we continued on to a park, hoping for a quieter place to talk. We were assulted by a massave throng of chinese who wanted to know everything they could know about the pretty doll[julia] and the beautiful barbie[me]. We hurried back to the bus even though we had an hour to spare. On to vineyard. Where countless wines were tasted by my mom and dad before being bought, and I was allowed a simple sip, and I must comment that wine does not have any good taste to it at all and it is my opinion that I think no one should even drink it! We visited the factory where the wine was made and everywhere you glanced there were 6000 bottle of full wine ready to be carted off to grocery stores. Then we played a spot of badmitten[ I was getting fairly good] and played several games before returning to our apartment at JiaoDa DongMein or the Zhaotong university east gate. At ten. Exausted we fell asleep immediately.

In that day I also found out that my favorite park the one by our house was 2000 years old and was made by the tang emporer, and was a royal courtyard.
