Back in Rexburg

WOW AM I BUSY! School, work, homework, school, work, homework! I now have a job at a call center. Not a fabulous job, but it'll get some money in my bank account. I'm loving my classes, even though they're running me ragged. I've already read one Shakespeare play, performed one monologue, written a couple papers, and done numerous assignments. Welcome back to college Emily!

There and Back Again

Pictures of my China Adventures

Since my last entry, things have gotten out of hand. My life became a dream. While in China, I swam in the China sea, fed a baby tiger, and was picked up by an elephant. There was a day when I walked the Sacred Way, did a cartwheel on the Great Wall of China, and visited the tomb of an ancient emperor. I've seen the Terracotta warriors and the Wild Goose Pagota. I rode a bike along the wall of Xi'an and went shopping in the underground markets of Shanghai. While teaching, I fell in love with my students. I slept on a hard bed and showered with a hose, I got used to squatters and travelled for 30 hours on a train.

Now I'm back home, looking out across the snowy landscape. I've done things in China that I never thought I'd get to do, but there truly is (pardon the expression) no place like home.

Hong Kong

After three outrageously long plane rides, I finally made it to China. The past two days have been spent in the beautiful city of Hong Kong. Here are a few pictures of my adventures:

Hooray! I don't have swine flu!

You can call me flower if you want to

Having WAY too much fun

What can I say?
