Travel Blog #20 & #21: Laid Back

Hey hey!

It’s officially the weekend and it’s officially one week until I go home! This weekend was very laid back, SO laid back that I have to combine the Saturday and Sunday blog posts together.

Day 20: let’s start off with the fact that I didn’t get out of the bed until 1:30. I was SO tired from the Great Wall and I just couldn’t move. After finally getting up, Veronica and I went to the canteen. It was closed. We’ve never been told the hours, so how’d we know if it closed and reopened, and when that occurred? We sadly went back to our room and ate snacks. It was entirely too hot to walk anywhere else. We slept some more, then woke up and decided to go out for dinner. We went to the same place we went earlier in the week, “Lush.” After we got back to our room, we just sat in, talked and watched YouTube videos. I’ll tell you one thing, this trip has definitely grown our friendship. We knew each other from a quiz bowl competition we did together, as we were teammates. I truly appreciate this trip for turning my roommate into a great friend!

Side note: these are random pictures that I’ve taken throughout the trip because of course I didn’t take pictures on these two boring days, lol.

Day 21: another weekend, another sleep-in. We woke up and Danielle was already at the canteen so she brought Veronica and I carry out orders back to our room. For dinner, we went to the canteen and got to-go orders, again. I’m pretty sure this weekend goes down in history for the most boring weekend, ever. Especially while abroad. At this point we’re just tired, though and sometimes we all just need rest.

Let’s see what this last week brings!

再见 (Bye)!
