When I was a freshman in high school, I remember I would
wake up early in the morning to catch the only episode of Sailor Moon that
played throughout the day. My favorite was Mercury Moon because her hair was
blue… and I remember thinking. “ I want blue hair!�.

Well that dream seemed like it was getting closer to being
fulfilled as I entered Asia. I was determined to get something blue in my hair.
fulfilled as I entered Asia. I was determined to get something blue in my hair.
So on our day off in Harbin, Cinthia and I decided to do
something drastic and get a crazy color in our hair. I originally wanted blue,
but I saw the purple dye and fell in love. I was ecstatic about getting purple
highlights. The whole time while sitting in the salon chair I was envisioning
Mercury Moon’s electric blue hair on my head (only as purple highlights.)

Well after our grueling 4 hour dying process, my “purple
highlights� were revealed. And they looked a bit more like BLONDE… or better
yet, the bleach that they put in my hair to try to put the purple in.

I’m usually not a girly girl,
but tears welled up. I tried my hardest to look content, but I’m not that good
of an actor, as many people have told me. OH well… looks like my purple
highlights will have to wait till America.

I did however get a shiny and funky nail design. Check out
some of the options I had to choose from.

I have to
say that the cutest children I have seen so far have been in China.

They are the cutest things on
earth. Especially the ones who are living in the Iceland up North, because they
all look like little bundled up marshmallows of cuteness.

Everyone who knows me knows that I am a cat lover. And I’m
not crazy about little puny dogs, because I think dogs should be big and
strong. But China has changed my prejudice. The little dogs here are the most
adorable dogs I have seen ever!

They sell them on the street for about $20 U.S dollars! I
can’t even tell you how close I
was to carrying one around with me for the last two months of the race!

Another thing I love about China is all dancing that goes
on. China has a popular form of dancing called line dancing. It’s like what we
Americans do to the electric slide, or the Cha Cha Slide. Usually they are
older, but all ages enjoy doing it.

One night we were heading to Jake and Stephs house, and
there was a massive line dancing party going on, so Sarah and I decided to join
in. I will never turn down an opportunity to dance, especially in a foreign
country, and especially with seniors!

Another thing that some companies do here are have their
employees do a 3-5 minute dance routine before their work shift. This is
supposed to wake them up, and increase the endorphines that make them happier
and more a pleasure to the customers. I firmly believe this should be
implemented in the states (purely for selfish wanting to get my dance on every
day, reason)

Another thing the older Chinese people do is random
exercises. They will use the equipment in the public park. I’m not quite sure
what muscle they are working out, but it almost always involves some type of
arms above the head, and random hand and feet gestures. It’s pretty hilarious
and adorable at the same time.

(It’s a little dark, but look closely)
Hey, at least they have the motivation to get their bodies
moving. Something I need to do more of! =)
