Kids
Today i met Olens kids. There was about 1400 of them. We’d walk in and they would all go oooohhh. i would tell them my name where i was from and where i was going to go while i am here. Then we’d open it up for questions. What sports do you like? Do you like China? and the best one….what is your Chinese name? Olen said he done’s have one would you like to name him? She thought about it for a bit while we talked to the other students and when asked again she said Ma da zhuang. This means “Horse big strong”.
I liked it immediatly and now i can write it in Chinese. The rest of the day was fun with all the kids. There was hey their he his! going on for the next couple of days.
The next day we just hung out at Olens which is on campus and we went out to a dinner of Hot pot. i didn’t like it but the people were so nice i didn’t let on and kept eating. One of the parts was coagulated pig blood. It looked like liver and tasted bad. Olen loves hot pot.
The people were very nice and each one indivdually toasted me to my visit. Nice people.
