Who misses a blogger??

Sooooo much has happened in china phew I'm wipped out I can not nearly try and cover it all... But I really feel like writing about this for some reason... One of the most fullfilling, rewarding things I've ever done in my life. We took a prepaid sas trip to beijing... The itinerary never said anything about visiting a school or orphanage but whn we got on the bus we got a detailed itinerary... Everyone was freaking out that our afternoon at lieasure suddenly dissapeard. To go to a school? Kidss, orphans? Nott interested... WOW let me tell you.. We were wrong.. The school orphanage was created by a man who's family was badly burned in an explosion... And he went bankrupt trying to pay meidcal bills and wound up begging for money on the streets.. While doing this he met many orphan children and started takeing them in and helping them eventually he got the government to pay for his family medical bills and started a school and home for orphans... He now has 100 children and he teaches them and takes care of them... They receive many donations and voulenteersm.. We went there and our job was to first clean and then play with th children... My bus as assigned the library and we maybe organized thouuuuuusands of books into piles by size. The books were all over the floor shelves spread out everywhere... We got everything off the floor and here is proof that I got on my hands and knees and swept the floor! And I actually enjoyed it... Noone is going to believe me I know but remember I went to camp for 8 years and I haaaavve used a broom before contrary to what you readers may believe. Lili was quite impressed with me and she snapped the picture when I wasn't even looking! All in all bejing was incredible. I love that we have time to explore on our own in lots of cities but doing a group trip for beijing was the best idea ever. There is soo much to see and learn and our tour guides were amazing. Oh haha so out of 98 people on the trip 11 were vegetarian and at every group meal we went to they had "vegetarian tables" thank god my friend chelsea was with us and vegetarian also so we got to sit together but honestly it was the funniest thing of life at every meal we had to be like ok bye friends gotta go sit at the vegetarian table. We did rickshaws and there were even vegetarian rickshaws because after our ride we were brought into peoples homes for dinner. It was beyond the most incredible once in a life time experience that they brought us into their homes and cooked us dinner... We even learned how to make dumplings! I'm so impressed with the trip sas set up for us and I don't think other people got to experience that kind of homey enviornment.. Anyway I just wanted to do a quick update... Were just exploring hong kong and totally loving all of china ugh its fabulosoooooo. I'm never coming homeeeee!
