Different Things

In my last blog post, I talked about scorpions.  Lots of people are wondering if I tried eating them.  I just wanted to tell you that I am NEVER eating scorpions!  There were different kinds.  There were small, tan ones and big, black fat ones.  In the barrels, they were all crawling on each other and fighting with their stingers up.  One time, I was walking and not paying attention, and I almost fell into a bucket of big black scorpions!  Here's a picture of the bucket of scorpions I almost fell in.

 Hi, classmates.  I need to tell you about a horrible experience that I had.  Did you know that in most of China, the toilets are different than the ones we have?  They are called squatty potties.  Can you guess why?  It's because you don't sit on them.  It's just a hole in the floor that you squat over.  I had to use one yesterday and it was a nightmare! I am way happier with our hotel bathrooms.

Thank you for the little notes that you guys sent us. I miss you guys. P.S. In two days it is my birthday!
