I received my host family information earlier this morning and was delighted to find out that I will be staying with the He family for the six weeks that I am in China!
My host dad is an engineer, and my host mom is the manager of a company in Hangzhou. I also have a 16 year old host sister, which I am completely happy about. She attends the same school that I will be attending, so we'll probably be traveling to school together in the morning.
No other information was provided about my family, such as hobbies and etc, but I was given their email address, home address and phone number. Apparently, I live 10-12 minutes away from school by car and 45-50 minutes away from school by bus. Hmm, I wonder what mode of transportation my host sister takes to school...
Okay, I feel really creepy for saying this, but I actually google searched my sister's name. (I'm sorry! I just wanted more information on my host family since I'm so impatient.) Google says that she's a top student in her school, and she also does debate...which is pretty amusing. I used to debate within the NFL (National Forensics League) back in 7th and 8th grade, but gave it up in favor of speech and choir.
Only 9 days left until PDO!
Until next time,
Christine
Gahh I'm so excited for you Christine!!! You finally get to travel out of the country! :D From what you posted here, it seems that you share some things in common with your sister. :)I'm sure you will be successful in achieving your goal of "self discovery." Have fun on your adventure and us updated!! <3 :D
