Chengdu du du du, da da da da


Alright, So I know I haven't been doing a good job in telling you what I've done for the first month, but that's okay. I'll tell you a little about my first vacation. Right now I'm in Chengdu with a few other teachers. Just hanging out in our hippie hostel listening to Bob Marley. We got here yesterday and went straight to Pizza Hut. Our vacations will be vacations from Chinese food. Then today we went to see a huge Panda reserve. Pandas only live in the wild right near Chengdu and so there's a big research and development center open to tourists. It was awesome. I'm pretty sure it's the biggest gathering of Pandas in captivity in the world. Then we went and did a little shopping. Chengdu is a really nice city. Quieter than Beibei and easy to get around. The bus system is great. Then for dinner we went and had Tex-Mex food. Amazing. Tomorrow we're going to see the world's largest buddha which is carved out of rock. then hanging out and seeing more of the city. We'll be heading back on Tuesday, cutting our vacation a day short because we couldn't catch a train on Wednesday. It's been good here. I think that I would definately come back. There's so much to see here, it's great.
