Mega Update Part 1- Qing Dao

Ok, i'm finally updating!! and i have TONS of pictures!!! so this is probably gonna be spilt up into a couple posts. First thing's first....i have officially signed a contract to stay another year in china. I'm really enjoying myself here and i feel like this years has gone by so fast and there is still alot here i want to see and do. It also helps that a some of my western and Korean friends are staying longer as well. there are alot of people i could imagine having to say goodbye to already.

So on to the photos. For may break i did a little traveling. Adam, Nate, and I first made our way to Qing Dao to pick up a certain Spaniard named Marcos. so we spent the weekend there before the 4 of us headed off to Beijing.

The Spaniard, Nuna, Cyclops, and Nate-ah Ping

Qing Dao had a really pretty beach....peferct for burying Chinese boys in the sand.

Marcos and Nate

Note the 2 men standing by the steps. Chinese men have the amazing ability to pee in public anywhere.



Scaffolding in China AMAZES me! It's basically just poles tied and balanced together.

Being a construction worker means you have to have pretty good balance.


While in Qing Dao we visited a templed that said it had a splayed pig.....we had no idea what a splayed pig was so we had to see it for ourselves....apparently it's this guy. the temple it's self was a bit boring, but the pig was worth it.





Marcos throwing coins for luck.


This was a random guy who worked at the temple and was quite taken with AND......


Nate's Arm hair!! hahahaha This guy actually pulled some of Nate's hair out and kept it.

Then in it was off to Beijing for about5 days!!!

Nate and I getting very bored on the train....


Again....very very short attention spans......



To be continued.....next up: Beijing!
