So my New York Football Giants finally decided to win a game this past weekend with a goaline stand in the last minute of the game. THAT'S WHAT I'M TALKING ABOUT!
Frankly one of the best parts of my weekend along with swimming at 9 Pools, which unfortunately I have no clue where it is (Ruian, but that means nothing to me). Here's what I know about it, its 9 natural mountain pools, but me, Zho Zhing Bo (from here on out known as the BO for the amazing performances he's been putting on. This guy is a total dark horse, back at Midd, I have not seen him out once, then he gets to the Middle Kingdom and totally different guy, is up for going out whenever and wherever, is willing to talk to any and all Chinese people and I'm sure if asked would have no problem belting out the worst Karaoke ever) Charlie, Clary, Pancake, Zach, Dan Lin, Guo Rui, and a few of the Chinese roommates found the Waterfall from the Cliffs of Heaven, which was frankly the coolest sight I may have ever seen. These falls were 200 feet tall if they were 5 and they were gorgeous.
After a day of swimming we hit the trail to our sleeping quarters for the night in a Taoist temple in our tour bus only to have it break down and to run into a few rock slides on the way up to said temple, all the while dealing with pouring rain. Also, funny thing about rural China, you run into some problems, no one's coming to help you, you gotta fix that problem yourself, so how do you deal with a busted bus, beat the engine with a wrench, how do you deal with a rock slide, the men get out and move the rocks, which was a lot of fun actually. Unfortunately, and I know that our fearless leader Lin Jiubi was frustrated as all hell by this, the rain never let up and the trip turned out to be somewhat of a bust.
Tomorrow is the Women's World Cup so I've got a lot of preparing, mentally and physically for that so I'll make sure to write something up soon. Also, anyone who is coming to China (someone already said they were, but I forgot who) just e-mail me and I'll try my damnedest to either meet up with you or at least make sure you know the hot spots in whatever city you'll be in!
Last post I swear, the Heff of Middlebury Fame is making his way down here this weekend from Shanghai, and frankly one of the crazier S.O.B.s I know, so I'm sure I'll have some stories of debauchery to share with you all on Monday or Tuesday. 周末快乐表字!(Happy weekend bitches!)
