我是中国人

来了大连几天，我的华语应该进步了一点。

所以我想把大连的经历用中文写下来。希望错别字不会太多，可能应该给Becky 查了先。

第一天，Captain请了我们吃日本大自助餐。＇菊＇是大连其中两个顶尖的日本料理餐馆。我们五个人在私人房里吃到爆，我难以想象品质那么高的一餐价钱会那么合理。

那晚我们不只吃饱，也唱和喝饱了。在K歌之王呆了几个小时，玩儿得好疯呢！

花费：

• 辣子鸡丁面 $42
• 王老吉 $20
• 大连小吃
• 闷子, 路边摊一碗 $0.50
• 菊活鱼料理 $200
• KTV snacks $300

i am a banana

I am a little anxious about going to Dalian for a week. It will be such a challenge to speak mandarin all the time.

My Chinese has improved slightly since i started hanging out with Becky during lunch. Becky is my colleague from Beijing, and my best girlie at work. My best guy friend at work, Captain, is also a Chinese national.

It is different, however, to have to spend three full days in a conference room full of senior top chinese officials. And I have to conduct an interview with the education bureau in Chinese!

I am ashamed that I cannot communicate in Chinese after studying the language till I was 18. It is so strange to look chinese and yet be so far from being one.
