Journal Entry #11: Monday, May 24, 2010

Monday was another beautiful day here, but I could tell it was going to be a warmer day than we’ve experienced to date.  Sure enough, it got warm - then it got hot.  I don’t know what the high temperature ended up being, but I’m not sure I want to know.   The upside of that was the sunshine seemed to illuminate a beautiful day full of activity and life.

Thursday was a slow day but one of anticipation, for the evening was to be my biggest presentation and maybe most important to date.  Every Thursday evening the American professors have been presenting a series of lectures called “The American Culture.”  The series has been an opportunity for us to tell a larger group of students about our way of life in America and more specifically the way of life about our weekly Sunday morning meetings.  These lectures are volunteer attendance for the students, but there are usually between 250-300 students in attendance!

This day was to bring what the team later laughingly referred to as “The Amazing Race – China Now” edition.  Our taxi was to arrive at 7:30 a.m., but at 7:00 a.m. the horn started blaring. The driver was there and wanted to get going.  He did not speak any English and I had a very difficult time telling him he was early and we simply were not ready.  I finally called Amy on the phone, explained the situation, and handed the phone to the driver for Amy to explain better.  A few minutes later, Amy showed up in person. She told me that she thought she needed to be there!

The morning sun awoke me in my 17th floor Guangzhou hotel window.  It was barely past dawn.  I looked out the window to see a large city that was very quiet and still at the moment.  I decided I should not waste the opportunity to get out and look around the city without the hustle and bustle of so many people.

I awoke early as I usually do.  The sun was up and I, for the first time, got a glimpse of the neighborhood in the daylight.  Jing Jing lived in a beautiful neighborhood of somewhat exclusives homes, at least for that area.  I went downstairs and sat in one of the large wooden living room chairs.  It became uncomfortable very fast.  I then realized that they did not have a single cushion in the house. ​

Monday brought upon me the start of the third week.  Two weeks down and two weeks to go!  I am planning on having a slower week, but I learned a long time ago to be prepared for the unexpected, so who knows?  While today was slower it was still fruitful.

This was to be a day when I could get caught up in my writing for my journal.  I did not write for the three days that I was away for the weekend visiting Mia and Jing Jing.  I did get caught up a little.  The Internet here is really suspect from time to time.  Sometimes it’s fine and sometimes it’s either slow or non-existent.  I think the weather has a lot to do with this and it has been raining a lot since I’ve been here.  To date I have been here for 19 days and I think it has rained for 15 of those days.  Often the rain has been hard and often it has been all day and night.  I am so hoping that we have a few nicer weather days before we leave.

It’s been taking me longer and longer to journal but I have no regrets.  It’s really been a labor that I have enjoyed.  With the length of my entries, I’ve about decided that this is not a journal but a book!
