Back in China

Adam and I made it back to China! I can update my blog through my e-mail and I can still get comments but I just can't view my blog or comment back! Adam and I flew out Tuesday night and went to L.A! I was nervous about our luggage because last year we left it in Canada because everyone told us that we didn't need to re-check it! So when people told us that this time I wasn't so sure. We ended up not re-checking them in Korea like we thought we would have to, but it was all there in Qingdao! I was so happy. Our flight from L.A to Korea wasn't too bad. It was thirteen hours! The airline was nice. We even got steak and potatoes for dinner! I slept most of the flight. I didn't even watch a whole movie, and they even had a great selection! We got to Korea at around five in the morning and our flight left at 8:45 a.m. It is a nice big airport but it was wierd because it was totally empty until about an hour before our flight left. We got to Qingdao where James(our foreign teacher guy), Thomas (Adam's cousin) and his wife Katie met us! We were way excited to see them. It is going to be so fun to have friends here! We then went to lunch with them, Wendy, and Kayte(another English teacher here). Adam and I slept and then met up with Kayte, Thomas, and Katie to take them to our favorite soup place and.........it was gone. :< All the buildings were torn down. We have only been gone for 7 months but so much has changed. It is great being back though. Our apartment is just how we left it except for a little dustier! :> Thomas, Katie, and Kayte were so happy to have Adam around to speak Chinese! It is very nice to be able to have a translater. It was fun telling them all the things we like to do, and places we like to go. We already bought some movies! We plan on going to church this sunday! I am so excited to see the BYU teachers that stayed from last year. We are going to do it all in one day. It takes 3 hours to get to church so it will be a long day but we will see how it goes. We are excited to be here and have another exciting adventure in P.R. Chinar!
