Henan: The Story

Sorry I couldn't come up with a better title. So anyways, these past few days have been a real ball! I got to go fishing and I caught 3 fish although I did cheat a little (it was a fish pound thingy). I also got to go to my uncles paper factory (he is in charge of it) and I took tons of pics. Yesterday, I went to this really beautiful mountain wheie I went swimming, then had dinner there. The air quality here is A LOT better than the air quality in Beijing. Tomorrow, I am taking a 8:02 AM train to Beijing. It is one of the new fast trains, ones that go 350 km/h. This way, it will only take 3 hours, instead of the usual 8.

When I get back to Beijing, there will only be a few days till the Opening ceremony (8/8/08 8:08:08 PM). My grand-aunt has gotten one ticket to the FINAL Opening Ceremony REHERSAL on 8/5/08, so it is almost like the real thing. Too bad I didn't bring my camcorder. However, I will take TONS of pictures. Netherless, I hope you read my twitter blog thingy in the next few weeks, as I will be mainly posting via that in the next few weeks.

Also, to celebrate National Watermelon Month, have a watermelon:

Why China Rocks!

Today, I went to a shopping center called Ito Yokado. Apparently, in China, Coca-Cola markets a soda called Smart which comes in a ton of flavors. Apparently, they also sell watermelon flavors. So I bought one and it tasted great. I am writing this in honor of National Watermelon Month! (July) Happy National Watermelon Month everyone!
