Luoyang

This was the third city on my journey. Wang Peng and I stayed in a small hostel which actually ended up being in someone's house...while that's not what we expected, it still ended up being nice and cheap. We also met up with the girl you'll see in the pictures, Wang Xia Yi. Her and her brother showed us around parts of the city and treated us to some really good food. As you can see, there was still a lot of snow covering the ground, creating a beautiful landscape. I had a good time on this trip. Besides enjoying the time with my friends, it continued to feed my desire to really learn Chinese. It's frustrating only knowing the language at a beginner's level. I want to be able to communicate with them in their native language. I know that will require an intense amount of study, discipline and time.
