Back From NY!

'Allo all you STINKERS!

Well I would love to tell you about this weekend. A trip full of laughs, encouragement, patience, anger, stress, tears, and good times... memmories that will never be forgotten, but that have changed everyones lives all over again, well at least mine. But I'm afraid that it would be really really long and you would get bored after a while .. so I think I will only highlight a little something from each day Hao bu hao! HAO!!!!!!! ok here we go

Friday- I woke up early and my parents went to drop me off at Jam's house ... we hung out there for a while waiting for the vans to arrive... when they did we began pileing in. The white van "Rubber ducky" consisted of... Paul (driver) Dong (co-pilot), then the rest of the crew... Denise, Aning, Nikki, Erin, Gabby, Ivan, and The Moore's. The second van was the rocking cool van... The GOLD VAN with the handle "Pu De Ren" (translated Pu's people)... The driver was JOHN, the Co-pilot was Pu (or Co-Pu) then the rest of the crew was ... Kendra, Cali, the Gomez family, Jacob, Fe-fe, and Ryan. It rained the whole day ... there was no stop, it was kinda scary there were a lot of cars crashed on the highway... but we had GPS to guide us all the way there. Oh and my van had a foul odor of Garlic for half the trip... I did not enjoy that one bit... I'm sure everyone in the back did not either. When we arrived at the Hotel RAmaadaa... It was an interesting hotel it was. But it was fun. Friday night we hung out played cards and watched movies. This was also the day when gabby Freaked out because of a R-O-A-C-H. That was interesting momment... those were the first tears of the trip. Ivan and I lost horribly to Pu and Jacab that night.

Saturday- Anning woke up beside me and asked WHO ARE YOU?! ha ha it was funny... I told her zhou jiemei and she was like ohhhh... she knows my name now. Ha! That morning we went to Brooklyn bethel had a quick tour and ate lunch with brother Jiang. and Some of the other friends. After that we headed to CHINA TOWN ... the Gold van managed to change into play clothes... Cuz we had skills! and skirts and Kendra was our leader.>.<. but the white van failed misrabely. heh heh... Gabby and I were the leaders of our pack searching for chinese music and videos. I bought a Cd de Mayday and Finding Nemo In chinese. We ate cakes bought tea and drank bubble tea... the good stuff. Then we went to the big toy store, we played on the giant Piano. and took pictures of all the toys... some ate hot dogs and walked to central park. after that we were packed in traffic going back to New Jersey. I was abandoned in the back with un somebody ... I thought i would die ... let's just say that was the second set of tears of the trip. Ha! but then at dinner it was all good. Then we got to the hotel and went to sleep after talking all night with the girls in the room... Me, Aning, Gabby, and fe-fe.

Sunday- we went to the SAD I felt really sick at first because I had to ride in the back and my pansa was all crazy. Then during the baptism talk .... it was awesome.. i remembered last year how i had had the opportunity to go to the SAD and I did not understand a WORD but this time during the Baptism talk I understood like 90% I was in tears I was so excited... but I was trying to hide it... I had Ivan to one side saying are you okay... all concerned and what not... Gabby laughing at me... Dong congratulating me and Jacob saying "Why are You CRYING?" ay ay ay you huo le you huo le. Anyways the talks were awesome, LEt me fastfoward a little ... we ate at an authentic chinese restaurant that night and it was really good. then that night at the hotel we hung out played cards watched movies and stuff. the grown ups had wine and the kids had strong coffee. HA! Ivan and I almost won this time.

Monday- woke up early and slept in the van the whole time... we listened to some experiences and stuff on the van so that was cool. We watched finding Nemo too. It was fun! we got home like at 5:30 and the trip came to a close.

This trip was AWESOME!
