Update from the Shan
Kc has been having a lot of fun here at the Shan (Shan is a nickname we call the academy). During her last weekend here we all went into town on friday for Mathieu, Ash, and David's birthday celebration and then Saturday was Kc'S goodbye dinner. About 13 people went out for the bday party. we all went to sing a bit at KTV and then went dancing at the club until about 1am when a few of us decided we were exhuasted from dancing and went to the bath house to rest. On saturday Brittany, Diane, Anton, Donna, Jeramy, and I stayed in town for Kc's dinner.
During the day we did some shopping and then we went to the fancy Duck resturant for dinner. I took Brittany here once for dinner date and we loved it. Kc only had Duck once when she was in the philipense so i told her she needs to try chinese duck...luckily i know of a place. The only people who had duck in china out of our group was Me and Brittany. So i ordered the food and when the food came in i told them how to prep the wraps and how to dip duck into the sugar...its really good trust me. After dinner I took Kc and Brittany to the "Cake shop" that everyone loves for desdert. Everyone else went back to the academy. After dessert we went and had a early night at the bath house.
On Tuesday Master Guo announced the Excellent International Student award winners during morning line up. The winners in order by most votes were Clement, Me, Brittany, Adam, Allen. Sheradon, oran, and Clement who is in Shaolin. I told clement i am always number two to him! I can never beat him! I always come second to him in gradings, he is class leader number 1 and i am 2, but then again he spent 2 years in china so far and i only been here 11 months. I was still happy i got that award. If you get that award the school takes your picture and puts it in the lobby.
Wednsday morning Kc had to fly back home. She wanted to stay another month but she could not change her flight date and it was a thousand dollars to buy so she had to go home. Mathieu who went with me the night to pick KC up from the airport, went with me to bring her to the airport. When Kc first got here it was a little weird seeing her around, hanging out with my friends, seeing her in my room eating all of my food. But over the 5 weeks she was here i grew accustomed to having her around. Now its thursday afternoon and i havent seen my sister at all today and it feels weird. The guys would say, "Lets go do the morning run a little early," or "Lets go to lunch," and i'd think, "Ok lemme just run up and tell kc..." then i would remember she is gone.

Its sad that she is gone but my time here is up in a couple months, so ill see her soon. I did not expect her to love it here so much. She was not ready to leave here either and when we said goodbye she was crying. Like i said before, this place is an Escape. People come here from all over the world, from different life styles, all different ages, but somehow everyone creates a bond with one another, with your Master, with the atmosphere of the school. Kc created a strong bond here just after 5 weeks. I cant imagin how i will feel when its my turn to board that plane to go home.
