Today I went to school. I walked up to my classroom by myself. First subject was Chinese. I have no clue what they were doing because it was all in Chinese. Next subject was morning exercises. At the end of morning exercises, I taught the whole school English. Actually, I did a skit with a girl from a different grade and taught the school all of the lines of the skit. I was very scared when I did it for the first time (which was yesterday). When I was on the stage I looked a bit up over the heads of the students and realized that every body had straight, black hair. When I was done with my skit, I went back to my class. The next period was math. After math, we had eye exercises. After eye exercises, we had another class of math. My last subject was PE. During PE my teacher wanted me to read her an alphabet book, so I did.
Yesterday, after school I went to the zoo. It took a long time to get there. We drove out of the city to get there. The zoo was located in front of mountains. When we finally arrived there my mom bought us tickets to go inside. When we got inside the zoo, we hopped on a bus. The bus took us to every part of the zoo. Actually, the bus only took us to the wild animals. When the bus stopped, we started walking through the zoo. We came to an area where you could take pictures with animals. I took a picture with a camel. After our pictures my mom got someone to take us to all of the places we wanted to go in the zoo. First stop was the panda. Xi’an only has one panda and that was the one we saw. Next stop was the flamingos. The bus parked right in front of a spot in the grass that was not filled with trees. We walked down a hill to get to where the flamingos were living. When we saw them, they did not look happy. That is where I learned that the zoo did not take good care of the animals. I felt really bad for the animals. When we got back to the bus, we realized that it is not a good idea to leave a bus in front of an open area because the bus could roll into the area and get stuck. And that is what happened. The bus driver and my mom got into a big fight. After that fun activity, we walked to the front gate. My tutor got us a taxi. Then we rode home.

Hi all,
I have been sick for the past 3 days so I don’t have very much to report. I will tell you though that Chinese medicine, or at least what I was given, tastes, looks and smells horrible. The nurse gave me little bottles that I am supposed to drink two times a day. The liquid in them is a green-brown that reminds me of bog water and if I had to take a guess at what bog-water tastes like I think it would taste better then this stuff. I don’t even know how to describe the taste but it’s bad. Anyways I don’t have much else to report. Hope everyone is well.
More later,
Gavi
