So much for TV
Just after mentioning I’ll be on hosting a live TV show, I’m replaced by someone from a rival university. Actually, I think the station director found someone else before he received my confirmation. I was really looking forward to representing my universities; although, there’s no denying that I’m also glad to have more time for school.
Ryan and I biked over to one of many internet cafe’s tonight. I was looking forward to uploading the rest of my Xi’an and other photos, but like many of the internet cafe’s here, the computers do not have USB access. It’s a pain sometimes. We really are lucky at TRU in Kamloops to have access to big computer labs with unrestricted access and free printing. So now, you can enjoy or ignore the photos of Xi’an I uploaded last night and I’ll finish the rest later this week when my homework is done and I’ve memorized a few more characters.
Today we were treated to a lunch feast by three classmates who’ve become good friends. The food was from a province I can pronounce, but can’t spell, and was freakin’ fantastic! We’re both convinced food will be a little bland in comparison when we get back to Canada, although we could easily have a big peppered steak one of these days. After lunch, we played billiards for an hour which cost us a whopping RMB$9 (just over a buck). From there, we whipped over to class (yes, even on Sunday), took our notes, and then went for a cheap dinner at the school canteen. If it wasn’t for our Sunday class, we would have had time to go halloween costume shopping, but ces’t la vie!
