Mangoes, hi chews, juice, dumplings and zhua bing (onion pancakes) taste SO much better here! Chocolate, however, does NOT. I'm a fan of dark chocolate but we're swimming in plain. cocoa. powder.
That being said this place is BOPPIN. We had our first earthquake, church meeting, baptism (with 有容), 6 week follow up mtg, and maybe pretty soon a typhoon? (rain has started WOO).
It's been a tough but good second week out of quarantine, it's hot and rejection is the usual, but I think it's a good place to be:)
I'm going to be honest, a lot of the things I'm learning are completely on-the-job. I made a lot of mistakes with my Chinese and it's difficult to improvise when your lessons go a different direction but I walk out of each one having learned something new. It's not easy and some days I just wanna speak HEAPS of english, but life goes on and we are growing❤
I'm SO grateful to be here and want you to remember that life is pretty much on-the-job training! Might take us a few times and we're gonna mess up a TON but we're lucky to have a chance to improve. WOO.
Stay safe and love you all! 蘇姐妹
