你好,
Today we headed back to the Star of Nanchang, hoping to have a ride and see Nanchang from the top. Unfortunately it was closed, but we know we will be back at Nanchang at somepoint throughout the year, so we'll get on that ferris wheel at some point.
Behind the ferris wheel was a small fun fair/theme park, and Rachael managed to convince me to go on the roller coaster (it was small, but I don't do rides...). It was alright (I didn't feel sick afterwards!) and we did get a nice picture from it. Flaggin down a taxi and using some very halting Chinese (I seemed to be designated speaker for the weekend - I don't mind, I love getting the practice) I managed to get the driver to understand and he took us to the big Walmart so we could buy some western food - I found fruit pastilles!
Unfortunately Rachael and Lucie weren't feeling very well so I got them a taxi, but since I was feeling fine, I decided to walk back to the hostel. I really enjoyed the walk - I have always liked taking walks by myself, and I haven't really had that much chance since coming to China - I took my time and arrived back at the hostel about 40 minutes after the others, to find them watching Mean Girls :P
I skyped my mum whilst they slept to try and overcome whatever was making them feel ill, and then I went for another walk. I have come to realise that I seem to get a lot less attention than Lucie, and whilst I was out walking on my own, I would get looks, but nobody looked for long. When I'm with Lucie we get stared at. It's rather strange.
Anyhow, need to be going to bed now,
Until tomorrow,
再见 x
