BBQ @ the Beach.

Wish I had/will have more days like the one I had today. Good times with great people. The students are just so friendly. I'm going to have to share with them about the Aloha Spirit, cause that's all they've been showing us since we've gotten here. I ate so many meat on a stick today that I was about to burst. Also tried some of their Chinese beer, which isn't too bad. All in all, tons of fun, great pics, and awesome people. Mangpo, Sean, and I decided to head out to the city afterwards and wander around. Sean's friend decided to join us, and we headed over to the arcade to dance. I told them I really liked dancing, and they took it as dancing on those DDR dance machines popular in America. Surprisingly, I was pretty good, and Sean's friend also thought I was pretty good too. She even said not bad for a beginner. Not sure why I started blushing and falling weak to my knees, but I tried to keep cool and act as if I've always been a professional dancer. We had dinner at a Sichuan restaurant, and before you start teasing me about my inabilities to handle spicy food, let me just say that I was well behaved and did not cry during my meal. In fact, it wasn't even that spicy. Maybe they make it such that Cantonese boys like me can handle crazy spicy foods in China. We were walking back to the dorm when we ran into a group of students from the University who meet every Saturday to practice speaking English. Decided to crash the party, and what do you know, Chinese people 1) Say I'm not Chinese 2) Say I'm very interesting from the way I act 3) Say I'm very handsome ( okay, maybe not the last one, but I can see it from their eyes ;) Sean and I ended up having a really nice deep talk about life, relationships, love at first sight, and fate. The last one, where he tried to explain to me the meanings behind each of the characters of 缘分, had me drop my jaw open wide, and one of those realizations of the meaning of life moments. Wow, this was the kind of stuff I was looking for in China, to broaden my mind and understanding of love and life and everything else, and all it took was from me was to open up and connect with a person who I've been seeing everyday this past week. He is such a genuine, down to earth guy; very authentic and nice guy. Hope I'll be able to learn a thing or two from him before I have to leave this place. So much to think about, but for now, live in the moment, relax, and enjoy the remaining weeks.
