Ni hao!
So this week wasn't that bad. I hung out with the other interns on 2 different occasions and I worked a lot too.
I worked pretty much every day this past week and mostly did what I always do - host, fold napkins, and clean silverware. However, one of the days, I served and bused tables from one of the sections. It was really hard work! I think if I ever work in a restaurant I would much rather host than serve. I am still set on working in a hotel, though.
Saturday night we went out to a restaurant and then to the 1912 district to go clubbing. The restaurant we went to was an authentic German restaurant and it was called Paulaner Brauhaus. 3 of us had plates of German sausages that were delicious. The restaurant is definitely a repeater!
On Sunday night, after I worked for 9 hours, we went to some people's apartment for dinner. My dad has some friends who live in Nanjing city, and they invited all of us to their apartment for dinner. It was a lot of fun. We had a full American meal! Fillet mignon, corn on the cob, pork ribs and potato salad! It was really nice just to kick back and talk to other American's, as we have only communicated with each other and Chinese people. I had a lot of fun with them and i am sure the others did too. I hope we get to see the Von Meisters more while we are here!
That pretty much described my week and now i am in my room just hanging out, since I do not work today!
I work tomorrow and everyday except for Friday, so it will be nice to have a break again. On Sunday, I am going to Wuxi with the other interns and Ivy Niu (a friend from Purdue who lives in Shenyang) and we are spending the whole day there. I am really excited to see Ivy and go to Wuxi.
Well that is it for today! I am going to post new pictures up in a little bit, so go check them out!
Love from China,
