Sometimes my arms bend backwards and there is music in the air

My access to Myspace and my blog is tenuous. Sometimes unreachable, other times they are able to be read. Oh, what a delightful wonderland I live in.

Well, I got to hang out with a host family. i mostly spent time with thier son. Age 18 "Jason" had a lot going on; the ride to the house was filled with his mother talking about the difficulty of applications to colleges in Hong Kong, he shared his dreams of globe trotting the world after making a small fortune in economics over a game something simmilar to hackysack, and later the family and I discussed college examinations in China (they have a special holiday where everyone takes their tests at once) versus examinations in U.S.

Also covered were; race in china, video games, anime, popular brand names, attitudes towards westerners, sports, dialects of china, rapid modernization and astrology. The answer to all of them was yes.

While visiting I got to help make dinner, tour thier 24th floor apartment, listen to music and drink massive amounts of tea.

When it came time to go they took many pictures with me. It was needless to say a sad parting.
