Going to a tea house tonight, walked around peoples square last night

Well last night was really fun. I walked around peoples square in Lin'an and for a city of about 500,000 that they call a town it is reminiscent of New York City. I threw some darts at some balloons and won a glow in the dark bracelet. It was super awesome. Before that I had a piece of Chinese version of birthday cake and it was adorned with a tomato a peach and something else that tasted good. Lots of frosting. I have also been eating mooncakes. Monday is mooncake festival here so this is a really big thing. Sunday night is the full moon and people from all over are going to be traveling to the West Lake in Hangzhou to watch the full moon rise on sunday night. It is supposed to be very very beautiful. But maybe people won't be able to see it because there is a typhoon somewhere and according to my english students the "influence" of it might make it too cloudy to see the moon which really sucks because it is supposed to be the most beautiful moon of the whole year. Mooncakes are pastries that probably contain as many calories as you need in one week. They are very heavy and after eating one for breakfast it is now 4:34 pm and I am still full. I am looking forward to my long weekend because I don't have to teach on monday and I don't have classes on tuesday. My classes are reading around the world in 80 days by jules verne. He is a most pragmatic author. I get many interesting words out of my students. One said that he wanted to "ameliorate" his english and another in a dialogue said that in order to study the atoms in a frog you must "anotamize" it. I find it funny that they will use words they don't understand to make themselves sound cooler. I don't even know what ameliorate means... He even spelled it correctly so that's kind of cool. I had coffee in a coffee house near the peoples square and the pot was 98 yuan. This is only like 15 dollars or something but for here thats like through the roof. Although I must say that was some excellent coffee after drinking nothing but nescafe for weeks. I had an excellent braised beef dish for 30 yuan. Only 5 dollars but keep in mind that this is uber expensive. A normal meal is like 10 yuan. It's ok to go out once in a while but I won't be doing it all the time. I had a lot of fun yesterday and I will post more tonight about my banquet with my department. I love everyone!
