"...well here's the schedule for the weekend trip. I swear something got lost in translation. I mean, whats the point of staying over night somewhere if you leave at 9 in the morning! hahah. I'm sure it's going to be quite the trip!! oh my.
We upgraded from 180 rmb (which covers transportation, one night's stay, and all meals) which would be about 30 USD. b/c the rooms were going to be 2-4 to a room and no showers at all and I guess the toilets are really really really bad. So (now) we're paying more, but I guess there's a shower - but probably not hot water and the pit toilet holes are a little better and only 2 to a room!
It's a village about an hour away. I'll be back Sunday morning. I'm quite sure this village is NOT going to have any internet, so I'll be away - but I'll let you know when I get back. ~ love you! Katie"

| Looking over the lake |
"i had all the things in the picture for breakfast - plus some other gross stuff like strings of tofu and pickled cucumbers...
but what i had in the picture is some warm soy milk that tasted like malt-o meal without the meal.
some porridge (with corn)
some cucumbers (cold)
and some bread (steamed)
all that was pretty safe.
