Last Day of Class at Hubei

Our last day of classes was pretty low key. We had a very good lecture in the morning comparing Chinese culture with American culture. We learned very vital information (some that a few in our crew could probably have used at the start of the trip..."don't suck on your chopstick" it is considered rude).

We then spent the afternoon running around taking care of things before we leave Wuhan. Several of us had gone to a local tailor and had clothes made...the prices were unbelievable (some got full hand tailored suits for $80...etc...yea...nuts) I had a vest made. It fit perfectly. As we were about to leave, the lady who had done our tailoring asked us (through an interpreter) if we could hang around for 5 minutes, a local television station was coming by to do interviews about why so many westerners use her shop...well OF COURSE we hung around...there was a HUGE crowd (go figure in China) when they got there...they had us put on our clothes we had bought..asked some different questions (in English). It was fun.



We then came back to the university and the last class of the trip was on making dumplings.

We had dinner and then an evening of bowling in the campus bowling alley. I suck at bowling in THREE HEMISPHERES!
Checkout that score...and um yea I fell.

Closing ceremonies tomorrow.
