Today marked:
• The first time I have had a meal–correction, two meals–with Chinese people and only Chinese people.
• The first time I have seen a westerner, other than those I work with, in over a month.
• My first payday and first time using a Chinese ATM.
• My first Saturday classes.
• My first time wearing a shirt that had been cleaned, pressed, and starched at a real Chinese laundry.
There is much more to tell about each of these firsts, but the weekends are incredibly busy for me. Stay tuned to this channel for an update Monday or Tuesday.
