Black holiday!

NO School! One of the two days I get off this semester!!
Asleigh, Stacy, Larisa and I all decided we were going to go sleeding in -15 degree weather!




When its as cold as it was today then you should not use water tubes to go snow sleeding! I popped one of the tubes and Asleigh popped the other one! LOL we are little fattys
We tubed for a max of 30mins cause we could not longer fill our limbs anymore and the wind was wicked bad.

Finding Peace

It has been a hard week for me... The only way I got through today was buying myself flowers. Sounds pathetic, but flowers can really make your day even if you buy them for your self! I got three roses, two pink ones and a red one. Flowers will always make me feel beautiful and special!

Snip Snip

I just couldn't take it any more. I’ve been dying to cut my hair short for a long time now, SO I just went out and did it. It was a little scary, I've heard stories about ladies that have gotten their hair cut here in china and it turns out horrible. The hairdressers seem to like to do whatever they want and just not care what you want. I got a reference to a guy that cuts lots of foreigner’s hair and does a great job. I went in, showed him the picture I wanted my hair to look like and it came out Fabulous. He knew exactly what he was doing and how to do the style I wanted! The haircut is fun, easy and really fast to do. I just blow dry it, which take a max of 5 mins, then straighten if I want to (the hair dresser didn't straighten it) put a little wax or mouse on the ends to do what I want them to do and I’m finished. Easy as one, two, three!! I love it!



I like it better when i do it myself!

Curious?

Me Too..

To the Dreamy Guy from Leon, Mexico

So when I was at the Night Market with Katie I ran into this extremely attractive guy. He was about to eat scorpion, since I had eaten it before I told him it was not bad! He was with 2 other girls from England and an American guy; they are in china studying Chinese. Lol we started talking about the things we ate and what was good. Then I asked where he was from, he said he was from Leon, Mexico. I got so excited, I told him my brother was there. I thought it was very interesting because this guy did not look Mexican, he had blond hair and had an Irish accent. He probably thought I was so cheesy to ask for a picture with me, but he did it. Michelle said " I have been in china to long to think he is hot" lol!
F.Y.I: His Picture does not even do him justice, he was not even smiling. All that matters is that I know what he looks like in person and he was dang cute!!! lol

Bungee Jumping

So you wont believe me since I deleted my proof but I went bungee jumping the last day I was in Beijing. Chris and I drove up to this beautiful gorge and took a boat ride and he watched me bungee jump. He actually recorded it on my camera and then the first person I went to show the video to I accidentally deleted it. Bungee jumping was so not as scary as I had hoped it to be. Once I got to the top where I was to jump they strapped my feet in tight and put me on the edge. He put my arms up and gave me a little nudge off. I didn’t even have time to be scared. Everyone in the canyon could heare me when I went off the edge, I screamed bloody murder. It was so fun. Once I was done bouncing a boat came to where I was hanging upside down and held up a stick that I grabbed so they could pull me into the boat.
LOL it makes me laugh that they did not tell me how to bungee jump or any rules they just pushed me off the edge! Lol China is so crazy; they don’t have any regulations for things like this. Don’t worry mom it was safe, Chris did it the week before and didn’t die!

(This was the dragon escalators we had to take to the top of the dam. The silly escalators weren't even turned on tell AFTER we walked up the last step. Convenient!)


We rode toboggans down instead of walking, at the bottom was a big courtyard with pigeon. I found some bread I had been caring around with me all week and feed it to the birds. Chris told me I could get the bird flu by feeding them, but he tells me this after the fact. GREAT!

Fabulous

This is Katie and i being amazing!

Random Rides

The great thing about china is that you can find random fun things to do all over the place. By the Night Market was this sling shot ride. Katie and i could not stop laughing afterwards it was so funny.
