An Awesome Birthday

Wo de sheng ri!

On Wednesday September 26 my friends Flood, Mudslide and Tsunami threw me a great birthday party with all kinds of surprises. It was a good retreat from the chaos of the week before it, and great surprise. We started out by going out to dinner to the local Yi restaurant and then went to Flood's new apartment for the after party! A night full of food, fun and Karaoke!



After a few songs of Chinese karaoke, Mud Slide brought out my brownie cake hand made by Tsunami and with toothpicks in the shape of the number 20! Then later when I was about ready to go home thinking this was the best birthday party I ever had in China, then they brought out my birthday present that they all chipped in to buy!



They bought me a Chinese Johnny Cash impersonator! Ni Hao! Wo jiao Johnny Cash!

Just kidding, they got me a guitar! Plus a yue bing and Cheddar Sun Chips from the import store in Kunming!

All in all it was a great birthday party, one I had not expected coming here to Asia not knowing anyone and on the complete opposite side of the world from my family. However, I have found some great friends!
