Yesterday, after an exciting trip to the Site of the First Meeting of the Communist Party of China (which had a really ballin' wax person display) we went to Qufu Lu, which is a place to buy knock off stuff. A man followed us for 45 minutes. It was awesome. He simply followed us saying "hello American friends, i find you very cheap! Follow me!" It was insane. He was like Jason. We split up in an effort to ditch him, and my friend Joe and I managed to lose him. And we looked around for an hour bargaining and looking at stuff. And then when we decided to go back home, guess who managed to find us again? It was ridiculous. Luckily he didn't follow us to the subway station, but I was seriously scared I was going to go home and find him sitting on my bed, or in the refrigerator, or under my bed. "Follow me American friend!"

In other news, Thanksgiving is the day after tommorrow. My class is making mashed potatoes. We are all very excited. Also, we are going to try and dress up like pilgrims and indians. I am going to miss the Turkey trot, which sucks because I've always enjoyed the pretentious central Fort Worth crowd, and the free yogurt. But it's all good. Also, my sister had a baby! So now I'm an uncle! This is going to be the most spoiled baby of all time, because everyone in my family has all wanted to have a baby to play with for like 4 years. And now we have one! So congratulations Kyle and Joey!

All in all, a good couple of days.
