Update from Marisa

At first I was so nervous to stay with my homestay. With the language barrier and cultural different cultural differences, I knew this would be hard. 

But it turned out completely opposite. As much as I don't know alot of chinese and she doesn't speak much English we have so much fun together. She is very friendly and full of energy and excitement, I also think she is very pretty. 

My host family is awesome is friendly. They even told i should feel at home. They were only there the 1st day but it's fine with me. We got out to eat alot and when I mean alot I'm not joking. But me and my host went to the park with other people that hosted and played a game chinese tag/ and duck duck goose it is very fun and makes america tag look very slow. When I'm not with my homestay it's very fun as well. We learned kungfu, traditional chinese dumpling making, shot bows and arrows and played a traditional chinese instrument. All of those activities were so much fun. We were able to indulge into a chinese culture that was never taught to us before.

Even though many of our instructors didn't undersand English we still had fun activities. It is very fun talking or playing charades with non english speaking people. It's one of the funniest things ever. China is very different from America because of it's long and interesting but I love China because of that.
