Who would have thought I’d be spending my 21st birthday in China!


Well my birthday started immediately at midnight on the plane! #21212121As soon as we got to the hotel, around 1:30 and we were greeted by the night manager who wished me a happy birthday and gave me a card (with a Panda on the front haha) and a bunch of managers wrote happy birthday messages too me in it, and he gave me a little bear with a pastry #spoiled 
Btw the apartment has its own balcony!! #ballinnnnn We’re on the twelfth floor so we have a sweet view :) #SUPERspoiled haha 
I got up around 11, got ready, blah blah blah.. then Rene met us at the hotel lobby and we at the hotels buffet style restaurant, iCafe. The food was delicious, not sure exactly what I was eating, but I think that’s how all the majority of the meals I eat will be like #DontAskDontTell After lunch, we had our first excursion!!!!.. to the bank haha Finally got some RNB! Thennnn jet lag hit us haha So after our official room check-in, we all took nap and got ready for our welcome dinner #SuitedUp 

DINNER WAS DELICIOUS. We met Rene at the lobby and walked to one of their nice restaurants in the hotel and had tea while we waited for the managers to show up. I have never drank so much tea in my life, it’s already addicting. When Peter & Lily showed up we moved to the table and the 5-billion course meal began. I cannot explain enough how much food there was (and unfortunately I don’t have a picture), but you’ll be happy to know I tried everything and even at seafood!! THENNNN the lights went out.. and the brought out a birthday cake for me and started singing happy birthday :) The cake was awesome, there were angry birds on top!! (not literally birds that are angry. I mean the cartoon game haha).  


**Thank you Chris!!!!** 
After gaining about ten pounds at dinner, we all went back to the apartment, caught up on Facebook news and skyped haha BTW I can’t get on Twitter here. #MyLifeIsOver Overall, it was such an exciting birthday of food and more food :) My kind of day!! Thanks to all my family who wrote me birthday notes secretly at the America Party, you’re the best & love you! 

WELP, orientation begins tomorrow. I’ll be pulling a Barney Stinson & SUITING UP. #BidnizSuit 

Miss you guys already :)
