Worked on presentations again all day. Wrote the script and practiced….happy to be under 7 minutes for the English version. This means Qiong will have a little more wiggle room for the Chinese version.
Tonite we took our translators to Pizza Hut. It was a very fun experience. I assumed the Hut would be very similar to the US, but it was so much nicer and offered lots of interesting menu items. We were all really excited as we poured over the menu to decide what to order. We tried seafood supreme, teriyaki chicken, Hawaiian, and sausage roll pizzas. Of course we looked like a bunch of wierdos taking photos of all of our pizzas. Mike kept taking selfies…then proceeded to teach our translators how to take selfies. This was hilarious, and yes, there is video. We all really had a lot of fun.
We also saw a show going on with actors from the show Xian Jian Qi Xia Zhan. I’m hoping to find some episodes of this when I get back to the US so I can practice my Mandarin. Qiong said this was one of her favorite shows. Since I’ve been here, it has made me really want to practice my Mandarin more and become fluent. I cannot wait to come back here to live! My only worry is that my first impression, being of Kunming, will be completely different from life in Beijing. We’ll see soon enough!
After dinner, we were back to the hotel. I think we’re all starting to experience a little burnout. Or maybe it could be that we are still working on the translations at 1130pm!
