Today we went to our first hosptial to get our physical for the working visa. Let me tell you it was not an american hosptial by any means. We didnt get bandaids for the bloodwork(yes we got our blood drawn, the needle was fresh out of a package, we made sure) we got a chest xray, urine test and eye test... and we had to pay for it, which was about 50 US dollars. I was kinda upset because they didnt tell us ahead of time, but oh well its done with. Last night the president of our company took us out to a nice authentic dinner and it was fun!! We went up to the mountains and ate looking over a rice field looking up at the moutains. It was way cool. We got there by taking this makeshift traveling bus with no doors, quite the adventure with the ways way that they drive over here. For the afternoon now we are going to watch the other half of our group present their practice lessons that they created to an actual chinese english class. I do my presentation tommorrow, on Friday. I am kinda nervous but once its over it will be fine. We decided on the city that we are going to. The city is called Yongzhou in the provience of Hunan in central eastern China. We should leave this weekend for our school. I will have my own apartment etc.. which will be fun i think. The pictures that i put up were from our travels through Hong Kong, which was just a quick bus ride. It takes awhile to upload pictures here so bear with me till I get the hang of it.
