So I realize it has been a while since I've posted. I only have time for a really quick update before I leave. I'm going to China with Kate and Ashley for our school's summer vacation. I can't wait!! We're leaving the building in about 20 minutes...

So, I want to share a food experience because I'm surprised. I've eaten silkworms and quail eggs since I've been here and I keep debating whether or not I want to try octopus. I really can't decide. Anyway, I had lunch with a friend last week...my first Korean rice porridge and it was really good. He ordered in Korean, so I didn't know what he got, just that I thought it was seafood. The food came and we traded so I got to try some of his. I looked at it and saw seaweed, some seafood-looking stuff and what appeared to be tiny shells. I really didn't want to be rude and not eat it, but I was a little worried about these shells. He wasn't picking anything out, so my guess was that you just ate everything in the porridge. So I ate it. The next time I went in, I saw on the menu that it was some kind of snail porridge...crazy.

Anyway, this post was written the night before I went to China, except for the last little bit...I didn't have time to post it...
