Visiting Zhi's home ~ November 16, 2008


These are tangerines given to us by Xiongping. They were really yummy. The smallest one had no seeds but the biggest one had tons.

It’s tangerine harvest time in Guangdong. There were tons of markets in a row selling only tangerines.


This is a building outside the hotel that we were staying at. Since there is a lot of construction and they have a lot of bamboo in China and because the bamboo is very strong, they use bamboo for all the scaffoldings. They even use it on skyscrapers.


This is Zhi’s dorm room. She shares it with eleven other girls. She sleeps on a bottom bunk. When there are twelve girls in one room, there are shampoo bottles everywhere in their bathroom. It sure is cluttered!

This is the view of the school from one floor up in Zhi’s dorm. She has a beautiful view!

This morning, we got to go to Zhi's house. This is the courtyard in front of her house and one of her dogs. She had rice drying in the sun outside of her house.

This are Zhi's small tangerines and peanuts. Zhi says that the tangerines are small because the plants are young. Next year, they will be big enough to sell. I sliently thought, "Another tangerine stand?!"

Zhi's mother put the tangerines and peanuts out for our lunch. They were very good.


This is Zhi's mother. I couldn't really understand her but she acted nice.






This is Zhi's funny chicken. It was a rare chicken.






This is Zhi eating a Lindt chocolate that we gave to her family. When they ate it, they said it was too sweet because they don't usually eat sweet things.

It was fun to see chickens hiding in Zhi's bushes and the food was good to eat. It was wonderful to see Zhi's house.
That's it for our trip today.
