"Keepa go straight!"

My first week has been incredible. I can't imagine anything more exciting than moving to a new place and meeting new people. I had done it before, however this was different being that I am in CHINA! I find myself laughing at people...and them laughing at me. It is reshreshing, rejuvinating, and most of all fun. I have left what I knew and now I am in the land of the unfermiliar. I just taught my first class and the little pre-pubesents applauded me. The people here make all of my uncertainty and anxiety vanish.

I don't speak Chinese(which I don't even know how to say), but they treat me just the same as we treat them in America(a Chinese person will speak to me and assume that I know the language). For the first time I am beginning to understand the way the world works. I don't want to use "us" and "them"(although previously used), but "we" instead. We have more in common than we know.
