Yesterday we took a day trip to the bustling city of Jining - a very fun little day trip complete with a wedding photo booth blasting amazing techno located conveniently in a car dealership, a beggar physically pushing at us with her cup in an attempt to beg for money (a strange experience), finding a DVD for sale entitled "HEROIC WOMAN WITH GUEST," And a really upscale coffee establishment which was insanely expensive for a half pot of coffee, but apparently it was worth every penny (I don't drink coffee but everybody else does).
The picture of the week award however has two winners. First, in honor of my last post entitled "the contrast" a picture of an Adidas store next to what appears to be some sort of old world gate/entryway which still stands in the middle of an urban jungle. The second winner is a picture of some, "baller ID bands." If I were a baller, I'd want to wear these sweet ID bands...

Nice blog, very well described discussing life there. That spring roll thing you said I think is called Cai Bing, lots of bings. Do you really think that guy welding was a peasant haha? Where are we, the Ming Dynasty?
oh, Nick! I am loving it. I still don't understand how you communicate-
maybe you just point at things on menus? How about buses? or subways-?
Sounds like having a group you can easily communicate with is a relief and a help toward settling in. Have you gone to any local movies yet? That might be interesting, comparing the filming and themes of Chinese movies to American-- Love, Grumwa
