Sooooo Long


Well it's been a long bit between posts, but I have been pretty busy. I played a Halloween festival here and added some pics from that. Their band is named Pumpkin and I wrote some lyrics for their song and played with them some. A lot of other bands played and were pretty good. It was called Halloween Rock Eve, but we just called it Pumpinfest. The TV tried to interview me but we ran off before they got around to me. It was really fun, and there were about 400 or so people there. I got sick for a bit but it seems to have cleared up. You can just buy antibiotics over the counter here. Not so great, but useful. We went to Hangzhou and had some adventures around West Lake, and we went to a Ningbo Conference and had lots of food and speakers. They invited me to play there but it was only 20 minutes of a tea break that they already had hired musicians for. Since I don't know any traditional Chinese music I sadly declined. I've been playing some with a band on Campus, but they are pretty terrible. Emily and I are thinking of trying to learn some traditional Chinese instrument and maybe get lessons. I went with Emily to see the new Harry Potter, didn't like it. We have been sneaking off to Starbucks for toffee nut lattes and chicken ceaser wraps. I am supposed to be judging a speech contest next month and Emily and I have both been assigned new classes to teach next week. I haven't been online much, and I have been practicing my guitar a lot. Emily and I are talking about all the stuff we want to do when we get home and we sure do miss everyone. Will try to put up some more later.
