Friends, birthdays,and Typhoons!!

So a random update from China......Been really busy with classes this semester....But still loving it here. It's suddenly really cold and I'm not sure I'm ready for winter. Marcos came last weekend to visit....aaannnd i've been getting phone calls from people who used to be in china but have since left to go back to the US. It's been sooooooooo nice to hear from them.

Last night was the big Halloween party! SOOO Fun!! will be posting those pics later. I love teaching Halloween. I played The Monster Mash in class. They seemed to really dig it.

Anyways....here are some new pics

Some of my fav. people this semester....adorable Korean girls i live with.

You can never have too many KTV pics!!

Tanya and Alexis rocking out

Tanya and I took a little visit to the spa!!! we had a crazy crazy honey and milk massage....they wrapped us up in saran wrap cocoons of deliciousness.

aren't we gorgeous in our face masks!!


Spas in china will let you sleep there all night for really really cheap. Ver y relaxing....cleanest i've felt in china. and after we released all those toxins...we quickly put them back in by having a tasty Mc Donald's breakfeast!!

Nate and i ran into these awesome dancing ladies downtown....this is why i love china.

Movie Night with the girls!!!
