Setting up our appartment

It took us a while to get some basic supplies and food for our apartment, but besides towels and a few other things, the apartment is set up.  Here is the food that we bought!  What an adventure.  While some things are in English, they are few.  We found friends from church could help us by taking a picture of the letters then we could point to the picture and have someone take us to it.  Did you know that the symbols for milk look A LOT like yogurt?  I have about a quart of yogurt that I am trying to figure out how to use now.  We did find Gatorade, potato chips, and Oreos!

We had to stop at a bank and get money exchanged.  These are in front of most banks.  There are different styles.

 

We stopped at our 1st restaurant to eat.  The food was good but the chicken is mostly bones.  We are also experiencing the traffic here.  We have to look around us constantly. We have to be sure no cars, buses, motorcycles, scooters or bicycles are coming.  They are going in all directions and traffic signals and just a suggestion.

 
We still aren't sure when we will begin teaching and are concerned that it may be on Monday.  Will do what we can to prepare but it is driving us a little crazy.  The other three teachers here in the BYU Kennedy Center China Teachers Program (CTP) are starting next week.  They are Doran and Terri Denney and Kathleen Shelton.
