Well I'm here, and still alive, so no worries. My flight was delayed so I got in late last night (your morning), came to the hotel, got to talk with mom for just a minute, and then went to sleep. It's only 5am here but I couldn't sleep a ton because of a couple reasons: I slept a lot on the plane, my neck still hurts from the accident (it's kind of swollen right now), and because my AC turned off and you just can't sleep in this hot humidity. Christine (one of the manager-like people at the center) picked me up with her boyfriend at the airport. She is way cool and very nice. I think she really likes me, but that might change if I refuse to work Sunday mornings....we'll see.
I'm going to call the R.S. President today and hopefully get together with her. I pretty much have all day to just chill today and wander if I want, get to know this area. Tomorrow I'll go to church and then go into the center in the afternoon. I need to do a little shopping today as well, but until I have a cell phone, I wont wander too far. I can tell, it is very easy to get lost in a place like this. This city is HUGE and everything is in Chinese, so it's not like I could find my way back on my own. Christine wrote some addresses down for me though, so I can just hop in a cab and show them. As of right now, I'm just enjoying this early morning TV program that's in English (surprisingly) and chilling in my ORANGE hotel room. Yeah, awesome I know. The beds are very low to the ground, kind of uncomfortable, and the room comes with these complimentary weird looking slippers. It's pretty awesome. As for internet, most everything is blocked. I was expecting that though, so it's not a big deal. So far I can only access gmail, google, UVU's website, and UCCU's site. Things like facebook, youtube, my blog site, and other fun websites are blocked. But no worries, mother will be uploading my blogs for me. And I think not having those other websites will be good; I won't be so distracted by the internet.
Well, I'm here and safe. I don't know if I love it yet because I've only slept since I've been here, but I like it so far! I'll let you guys know more later. This is just a short thing so you know I'm alive and well.
Love you guys!
