A visit from China

Hi, blog, it is me again, your poster. Couple weeks ago, I got you some fishes, a calendar, a prayer frame, and maybe two new posts.

Today, Charlotte and her husband came to visit from China. Charlotte was one of the nine exchange students two years ago. Now she is married and back to here with her husband Eric. I was very excited to see them.
Our American grandpa took us to Olive Garden. Charlotte and Eric ordered hot water, which most of Chinese usually will do in China. The waitress kept asking whether they wanted teabags or not...surely, she doesn't know we Chinese are weird. We drink plain hot water..When Eric saw me drinking lemonade with ice, he was surprised and asked me, "don't you feel cold? it is so cold outside." Probably like this face @.@ It is his first time to visit this country and not used to icy drink, cheesy and creamy food yet. Now I can completely know how Americanized I have become...which I don't know it is good or not...They brought me stuff my sister bought for me. I was overexcited. I guess this is first time for me to get real Chinese stuff from my friends. :D We had a very nice night.

Last night my aunt from Hong Kong called me. Now I really feel spoiled. :) People who studied years ago mailed their letters back home and waited for replies forever. Maybe sometimes some of them got lost on the way to China...maybe in the shark's stomach, or in the Pacific Ocean, or somewhere impossible. How blessed we are living in this high-tech age. Then I facetimed with my second older sister today.
It was really awesome to catch up with family back home.

Tomorrow is the president election day of U.S.A. From my racial sociology class, I learned ethnic groups do not usually vote. They concern about their daily life instead. Well...I believe that...especially when my Chinese friends told me that when she and her sister went to vote, every single person looked at them with big big eyes...

Things are complicated. So make it short, goodnight.
