This weekend was our first visit to our host family's home. Early Saturday morning I woke to shower and prepare to go with my Chinese family. My host father and cousin picked me up around 9am. My little brother was at school and my host mother was at work. We immediately started to see the city, stopping at a local market, People's Park, and the Torch Park. We enjoyed fried chicken for lunch while we waited for the rest of the family to come home. When my brother came home I help him with his English homework. He is very smart.
Later, my little brother and I stayed over his cousin’s house. We helped the cousin who's in the 8th grade with Algebra and English.
The next morning the two taught me Kong Fu, it was very relaxing. We had soy drink, ham, and peaches for breakfast. It was Children's Day, so two other cousins came over. They taught me how to play Chinese chess. The youngest cousin beat us all. A third grader beat a 6th grader (my brother), an 8th grader( a cousin), a 10th grader(a cousin), and me, a junior in college. We laughed and played with the pet turtles. My host father took us to the park, there were a lot of families. We ended the day making dinner, duck head, dumplings, and fried fish.
