I'm Eighteen

Well I turned 18 this past Friday...it was AWESOME.
On Friday our entire academy had to climb Kunyu Mountain, the tallest mountain in the area, which is basically a 15 km trek from our school. It took several hours, but with the help of MAN power, I reached the summit, exhibiting my manliness for all to see. The next day I awoke at 4:50 am to get to a bus I would be taking, with some friends, to the port city of Qingdao which about 4 hrs. away. We dropped our bags off at a youth hostel that cost $3/night and went out to see the town. We actually didn't end up sleeping at the hostel at all, except for a slight power nap, and pretty much stayed up the entire night. The World Cup Final of Rugby between England and S. Africa was on, and because 4 of the 5 people I was with in Qingdao are English, we stayed up to watch it live at sports bar, the game started at 3 am in China, haha. Another really amazing thing we experienced was we stumbled upon a Chinese tea house, where they served tea in the traditional Chinese tea ceremony fashion. When waitress who pours the tea for you begins the ceremony for the next hour or so she her hands meticulously and with the looks of a martial artist. It was truly an experience, and the tea was amazing. Anyways I've been up for over 40 hrs. straight now, with on 3.5 hrs. of sleep prior to that, so I am going to go to bed. Goodnight, I miss you all.
