Home Sweet Home

After a 26 hour beautiful train ride and a one hour bus ride, we arrived at Kunming Guanghaua school. Before we go into this a little more i want to tell you what we were expecting when we got our rooms of living. They told us that we would have our own computers, a washer and dryer, a nice track and stadium, a full bathroom, and so on. We half expected a clean college dorm! instead of rooms we were assigned to a little house but they are all really really close together. All three of us were able to get a hut (or shack as we like to call it) together. It looks oh so decent from the outside but when we took our first step into the shack we were all welcomed by a gust of dust and dirt. We found the light switch to turn on the lights, You know in scary shows how the lights flicker and make creepy sounds before they actually turn on? thats what it was like. We took a look around each room and it was so dirty, no one has been living in these huts for about 7 years, so first things first, we grab the broom and dust pan and get to work. We couldn't help but notice that there was no washer or dryer, no computer, no full bathroom, In fact the bathroom was pulled together with duct tape! There was no shower curtain either, hence no privacy! The walls have shoe tracks everywhere and holes in the ground, walls, and ceilings. We'll be honest with you, this is probably the coolest place we have ever lived! at first we were like this is a joke but you seriously can't help but laugh! after a while we gave up cleaning and started to move the beds together into one room. We moved one bed away from the wall and low and behold a spider the size of your palm! We thought Brit was gonna grab her bags and catch the next flight! So While Brit was chillin on a table, Nat grabbed the camera, gave Lexxy the broom and said, "Let's do this!" We took some mad prep time for mind and body evalutaion before proceding to kill this Spider which in the U.S. not even Arnold Schwarzenegger would dare cross. Since Lexxy is so strong and tough she ended up breaking the broom against the wall and leaving guts bigger then the size of your head splattered all over. After that life changing event we pushed two beds together to form one so we could all snuggle up, the bed of course is in the middle of the room not touching any walls and layered with tons of blankets for that soft cushion feel. So now we have a Spare room for Guests.. (Dont ask why) An exercise room, and a study room. We share one closet and we ended up finding peices of a computer in a storage room that we managed to put together. Getting ready for bed was such a relief! We Unpacked our bathroom needs and got to work cleanin up ourselves, at first we hated the spiders that dwelled there but then we meet a jumping spider and deceided to embrace him and call him petey, He's actually now in our family photo, We feed him Crumbs, Did i mention that we eat with rats? But were always so hungry that the rats don't bother us any. Beside the point, were ready for bed and we hop in our triple king sized bed and start crackin jokes and slowly drift off to sleep only to be awakened by Natty jumpin out of bed, Natty has a tendency of talkin in her sleep so we first ignored it, as if things couldn't get much funnier our ceiling was dripping water!! And on to Nattys Face!! haha We taped it up next to the silly string left from years ago and left it at that. This was all a first for us but i think we are thirsty enough for it :)
