and would you look at that, i am more tech savvy than i thought mwahahaha

[mandagoes2china]

I wish this picture was zoomed in a bit more (if I was more technology savvy I could probably crop it on my computer...but alas I am not.) This is just after our first conference at Fudon University. With all the chaos from the previous night with getting it all sorted out i was quite surprised how smooth the actual presentation went :)

This is the wonderful temple where I got my fortune told. Now I don’t usually believe in these sorts of things but the man told me (by calculating my date and time of birth, as well as looking at my palm) that I shall lead a very wealthy life, with enough fortune that I can be passed down to my grandchildren. I will also live a very long life, with no major health complications. So who wouldn’t want to believe that??

It's a dangerous business, Frodo, going out your door. You step onto the road, and if you don't keep your feet, there's no knowing where you might be swept off to.

Here are some more of the rock maze. I was so amazing to explore and was much bigger and more complex than originally anticipated given its location…inside a house. I found it neat how if this were in Canada we would not have been able to explore it like Selena and I did. It would be classified as “too dangerous,” and would be fenced off. Reminding me of the Calgary Zoo, and how the rock by the lion’s den used to be open for kids to climb on but is not fenced off.

I am reminded each day how different our two cultures are.

Just me being all elegant at an old house in Shouzou. What was cool about this place was it had a rock maze in the garden, which was pretty sweet.
