Tuesday Morning: April 7
We're about to start our first day of work in a few hours. I've been waking up at 2:30 or 3:30am every day so far and am going to try and start being productive with my extra time in the morning if I can. We unexpectedly had Monday off yesterday (we're 12 hours ahead) so we had an extra day to go around and explore the city. Here are a few of our experiences so far and a few pictures: our first taxi rides, grocery shopping (weird stuff in there), hour long back and foot massage for $12, Pizza Hut that was super classy and our most expensive meal yet (we already gave in last night), checking out the Bird's Nest and Water Cube from the Olympics, trip to Ikea for some things for our apartment (despite nearly everything in the world being made in China, we managed to buy our stuff from Sweden while we are in China), trying spicy donkey meat (good stuff), going for our first morning tea, checking out Tienemen Square, ordering our first solo meal without any language used {consisted of pointing at pictures of raw meat from a menu (we didn't order the dog, though it was on the menu) and cooking them ourselves on a little grill in the middle of our table}.
