Keeping Busy

Hello Friends and Family,

It was nice finsihing work are 10:00am and Ryan at 12:00. We met up with Chis and Hua our American friends for lunch and shopping downtown. Ryan went with chris to look at computer stuff and we went to buy Hua some fashionable clothes from a magazine, it is very common to have custom closthes made because it is cheaper. We met up and ate at a BBQ resturant and had some good cooking. It is a little different then what we know to be as a BBQ but the flavor is very tasty. Both Ryan and I enjoyed shrimp and fish when we don't usually like the the taste of sea food. We are growing in our food likes. We caught the bus back and poor Ryan was squished in the very back of the bus like an accordian, it was only bad because it was a full bus. Earlier that day Ryan got on a double decker bus and hit his forehead and the bus started to go and got Ryan off balance, what a sight to see for the Chinese. Our night was not done, we went to a coffee shop that our friends like to go to often, I'm starting to like the coffee more and more because they don't have any frappuccinos here. However, they had some delicious ice cream. We met some of the the American's friends and they were really friendly. Ryan can't handle coffee very well late at night he was up until 4:30 in the morning, luckly he kept busy making our triangle lake film together along with our behai trip into short clips. We are still trying to put them on Youtube so that you will be able to see it.

Today was slower but really nice as we walked around our campus and market area filming the life around us and the scenery. We picked up some movies and came back here and watched a really boring one. Tonight we are going to meet a couple from the Philipians who are also going to be teaching English at the college. Our friend Kate is coming as well and we are going to watch a movie in the park, we don't know if it will be in English or not, most likely in Chinese but you never know.

Even though we are meeting people here and hanging out with them, we miss everyone back at home and wish that we could be hanging out with you as well. It is hard missing youth groups, staff get togethers, Sunday hang out nights, and the first football game of the season. Seeing mark play and talking with family and friends in the stands. Fortunatley we can watch the game online. GO WOLVES! Thank you for continuing to think of us. We'll take some pictures tonight and you can see Nanhu Park in downtown Nanning. See you soon.

Sincerely,
Kealy and Ryan Thorson
