I'm Alive!

I realize it's been a while since I've posted (almost 3 months!), and I know I haven't posted about my last week in Hangzhou yet. Things just got really hectic after landing back on the islands, especially with school starting the day after I returned. I promise I will get those posts/pictures up by the end of 2013. I already have them up on Facebook, but I might as well share it with the rest of the internet...just in case some prospective NSLI-Y applicants happen to stumble upon my blog (c'mon, pictures are the best). It might take a while to write, since my memory is kind of hazy at the moment. I do, however, have a lot of stories to share :) since the last week was filled with tons of activities and events.

Unfortunately, I chose not to apply for the year program. Summer in Hangzhou was definitely fun, but I don't think the year program is right for me. I'll be back in China during college :) Good luck to everyone applying, though! I did some PR at my school and managed to get my 5 little juniors to apply for the program(; (3 for Korea, 1 for China, and 1 for Russia). Hoping them and all of you the best of luck!

I'll be back in December with stories from the last week of my trip, which includes Matthew's birthday, getting ripped off for noodles, visiting a night market, hanging out on the roof of Sander's house, graduation, and many more!

Until next time,
Christine

Some pictures before I go? 

Getting my haircut at some sketchy barbershop!

Making jiaozi

In front of West Lake. Isn't it pretty?

After Tai Chi back in Week 1

I basically stole these photos from Angelo's collection of 20304333 China photos....and I might've taken some from Michelle and Alex as well, hehe.
