Birthday in China

So this last weekend we celebrated my Birthday. It was kinda interesting having a birthday in China. Gave us an excuse to actually party though. It was kinda like a four-day event. We started it on Friday (the fifth) we went to ShurQi to go to "The Potato Cafe" where they serve the most amazing french toast with peanut butter in the middle of them.... yum. On Saturday (the sixth-my real birthday) we traveled to GuangZhou to go to a Water Park. It ended up being a really hot day and so it ended up being perfect! It was the most American I've ever felt in China (except you know for all the Chinese people walking around everywhere). Even though they don't scream like us American's do on rides they sure know how to make the rides fun. They even played Rascal Flatts the whole day, we're claiming it was just for my birthday. Sunday (the 7th) I got a package from my family which was full of goodies and cake mix so we ended up making plates and plates of Funfetti cookies with 20 candles placed in them. On Monday (the 8th) Annie brought me over a cake which was great, and everyone got to sing "Happy Birthday" to me for about the seventh time. I am no longer a teenager anymore... it is great!

Love always, Mandy
