Chinese food is good.... most of the time. Some of the time it is really good, and sometimes its weird, and sometimes when it taste good it feels weird the next day. This time it felt weird the next day....and the next.... and the next ...and the next all the way until Saturday. I had been eating at the student cafeteria which is pretty tasty and is supposed to be pretty sanitary. Then Tuesday afternoon I went and got a cup of fruit the fruit looked pretty good from the outside it looked really good but when I started eating it it tasted a little funny, sort of like fermentation. I paused but thought about how most Chinese people don't waste very much and I thought maybe Chinese oranges and grapes are supposed to taste this different. After a couple more pieces and one incredibly nasty taste of orange that made me shiver I realized that different and bad are two entirely different flavors. I threw the last peice away and headed off to class where I began to feel like the fruit tasted, nasty. (the meaning of the word nasty in this context should not be confused with its slang usage as sick, wicked or awesome)
I headed home for class and spent the next couple days on the couch, trying to avoid puking, and my bed which is so hard that my but hurts after a good nights rest. It is better than my previous bed though which made my but fall asleep while I was sleeping... a pretty funny feeling I might add.
I was really greatful to have a nice couch to sleep on, some good friends Daniel gave me a priesthood blessing and Susanah brought me peptobismal and high fiber digestive crackers, which were pivotal in feeling better.
Most of the time it was nice to relax not worry about class and as long as I stayed on the couch or bed I was pretty comfortable. I am greatfull to be back on my feet and able to eat Chinese food again.

Go fiber crackers! In response to your posts leading up to this one... what an adventure you're having! As I look into adventures out there, perhaps your experience is a fair warning.... Yet you found a good place to stay and the basics are being taken care of... I think you're meant for China! What a sweeeet world to explore!
Hi Caleb, its Lindsey. I hope you are still enjoying your fiber crackers slash life in China. Although I kinda wish you were here (or I were there) because I sort of miss hanging out with you every now and again.
Different and bad are definitely different flavors. Hahaha!
