Hey Everyone! Today is the most beautiful day in Beijing by far. The skys are a perfectly clear blue, with a dry breeze whistling through the trees! My host Mother finally returned from a business trip in Shanxi province and today we are doing volunteer work. I wanted to talk about ONE thing!KARAOKE! There are casino style hotels called “KTVs” which specifically have rooms containing flat screen tvs, black and disco lights, futuristic decorations and comfy seating. I first went while in Tianjin with my host brother Caro and a few of his friends. Of course i was nervous, but im in China and singing is so much fun, especially Lady Gaga! I also went for Caro’s 16th Birthday as well as with almost every student here on our trip. At first i thought that most of my classmates wouldn’t know how to have fun! However, after all of our Mall-ing, Movie-ing, Karaoke-ing and EATING i realized that i wouldnt swap any of them for anyone.
I’ve Begin to fall in love with this stunning country and the friends i have made. :}
Hi Paul,
What types of community service / volunteer work has your group been doing? Have you had a chance to organize some activities on your own?
Austin is volunteering in the media center at TCHS moving books back to the shelves now that it has been newly carpeted.
What songs did you sing for Karoake night?
Love, Mom
