My first week in China

Hello everyone-
I started this blog so that i wouldnt have to keep sending out mass emails, and forgetting people back home. I will try and update as much as possible!
Week 1-
Since moving to China to teach i have learned a few things in a short time. Rice gets old! I am able to pee squatting, the smells i havent gotten used to yet, and showering with a hose isnt that bad:) After leaving for Tokoyo on Monday, we finally got to our destination on wed. night because of delays, mishaps, life in general. All of that was in my first email. Lets just say i wanted adventure and i am smack dab in the middle of it!! I am very happy with the company i chose. they are very nice and accomdating, and love talking english to us. they love the slang!! they are available 24hrs and are super cool!!! Even after we go out to the schools we are able to contact them for anything!
Today is my first day of teachers training. It is basically a crash course in how to handle the up to 90 students that will be in my classes and how to write lesson plans. Should be fun, then we get to go and practice on an actual class before they send us out to our schools. Im not sure where we are going yet, we wanted to do more research on the schools before we decided. We (and by we i mean Megan and I) have a school interested in us but we told him we would think about it, he was disappointed because he came to our place expecting to take us back to his school with him!
Life in China-
Life is very different here. Everything that you have seen or heard is true! Its dirty, i dont think my feet have EVER been this dirty and everyone know about my feet:) There are tons of people everywhere! Even at 3 am there is people around! They drive crazy! its basically all for themselves and the bigger the vehicle the better and more power you have. no traffick lights etc.. people just run out in the middle of traffic to cross the streets. There are TONS of mopeds and bikes, the taxis are basically mopeds(havent rode on one yet!) Everything is super cheap, beer is like 50 cents! A big meal is like 4 or 5 dollars. I havent gotten really good at chopsticks but its comming along. the bathrooms are nasty, no toilet paper, everyone carries their own. Babies dont wear diapers, twice i have seen children peeing in the street!! They just have slits that are open along their butt cracks! Im giving up chicken till i get home, and we all know how much i love chicken. But after seeing the feet in my soup the other day it doesnt do it for me anymore. The spices are different but i hope to up my tolerence to them:) And to all that were worried I FOUND TAMPONS!! AND PEPSI, but sadly no ranch, ( i dont think i would eat it here anyways, the refrigeration is not the best) I better get going now! Love and miss you all! As soon as I get a chance i will upload photos from this first town im in!
