Slowly getting better at China

My friend Betty had me going that we were about to experience a tasty Sichuan treat called 龟苓膏 (Gui1 ling2 gao1) made from turtle blood . She said that we would each choose a turtle from the pool and then smash the shell and collect the juice.
I was only a little disappointed when it turned out to be 'herbal jelly.' However, even herbal jelly can be fun sometimes!






I had my first test today for my language class. I think it went ok. Check out some of my homework! So far, whenever I show my work to them, my teachers ask me to stop drawing pictures in class...I'm not sure how to say 'chicken scratch' in Chinese.


Oh! Almost forgot-if you're interested I've been dumping more pictures here: http://picasaweb.google.com/postcentral.gyrus
