So, this was ages ago, but I fail at updating things, so...
When I got back from my trip, I went and had dinner with my host parents from the last time I was here. It was the most shocking experience of being back here, I think. Almost everything was the same. I felt like I was back in high school. I had to try really hard to remember that I've been gone for 4 years.
One big difference in the neighborhood was the fact that it's about about 20 minutes from the Olympic park. I looked down a street and was surprised to see the Bird's Nest. It shouldn't have been that surprising, but it was just a dug-up lot when I was there last time.
My parents were great, it was really nice to feel like I could actually communicate with them... They showed me pictures my host sister had sent them from Florida.
It was a very nice time... My host dad used me to study English on the drive home..
I should try to see them before I go back to the US.

I'm back in Beijing for 3 months. I figure this time I should actually document it. And this way I can post pictures and write up about them and do all that good stuff. **I think I'm pretty much always going to put the pictures into posts later than when I originally write them out, because it's just easier that way and then lack of pictures isn't an excuse or not updating this blog. So people who look at this should check back in on posts you've already read to see if there are pictures up.
