Hey Everyone!

Hey everyone, its Jing Mei

Eventhough, that I am an American, as soon as I landed in China, I started to become "Chinese". I felt very different, and my senses started to change. My mother was right, it was in my blood, to become Chinese, and now that I'm in China, I've never felt it more. As my father and I stood, we heard a lady screaming. I thought that she was trying to sell us something, but it turned out that she was Aiyi, my great aunt. She was so happy to see us, and we were also delighted, especially my father. We all went to a Hotel, which surprisingly was very elegant, and more than expected. I thought we were in the wrong place, becasue what I asked for, was something cheap. However, we were already booked in. Workers in neat uniforms, restaurants and arcades all around- it seemed unreal. If you guys could have been here with me, you also would be stunned. I am still recovering from the shock i got upon entering this hotel. I hope Aiyi doesn't think that I am a spoiled American that cant survive without elegant surroundings. Even in San Francisco, I have never been to a place so rich and wonderful. Our room, dont even get me started. It is located on the eighteenth floor, and its very luxiourious. The fridge is filled with treats, and there is a colored t.v. All I am worrying about however, is the expense that this will cost in the end. So far, my trip is going wonderul, and I hope it coninues to be this way. All that I am worried about now, is meeting my two twin sisters. Well, that's all for now. Talk to you guys soon!

Love,

Jing - Mei Woo
