From Terrance - June 18

Today has been great! Shakerra and I woke early to join the Chinese students in their morning excercise. It's amazing to see everyone being so excited about "Beijing 2008". At least a few thousand students run, play ball, and practice martial arts every morning. Even in class, our teacher told us about the Olympics characters that means "Welcome to Beijing". They really welcome us into their culture. This week we're learning Chinese painting and calligraphy. This experience is really awesome! I encourage every one with the opportunity to go abroad to do so.
