1/3/09

Well its a new year in china, although everybody is like, oh its your new year, haha, as if it hasn't become 2009 for them yet either. I'm finally able to update things and get back in contact with people its quite nice, before we had moved and I chose one of the not taken rooms, it was upstairs and big and had its own bathroom so I thought it was going to be awesome, unfortuntly it wasn't, it was quite cold and apparently unbeknownst to me it was also the "entertaining" room. Oh, that and the first time I tried to take a shower up there the hot water turned off after about thirty seconds, and the winter water in chengdu is quiiiiite cold. Another drawback to that room is that it had no signal from the internet router, what a bummer. But now I've moved downstairs into the room that the router is actually in and woah, what a difference, once a fidget with the internet settings and get this thing working its lightning fast, also its quite warm with the help of only a tiny little space heater that supprisingly puts out a large amount of heat. I'll be taking and posting some pictures of the new place, its really enormous, and maybe even a video tour it this bloggy thing will let me which I think it will. Also, my parents inform me that there was an earthquake in mianyang (a city not very far from chengdu) and I find it quite funny that the first I'd heard of this quake is from contacts in the states, oh yeah and I'm still alive, survived my first quake in china, though I didn't feel a thing so I'm not sure how heroic my tale of survival is.. haha, ok well I'm going to scrounge up some granola for breakfast so untill my next post or skype call, btw for all who don't know my skype address is bencongmeiguo, anyone wanting to skype me is more than welcome, good night!
