Carrie's Birthday

My first birthday in the Motherland...i'm now 28. I got some great emails and e-cards. Even a snail mail card! That night, Brad took me out to a German restaraunt. The wait and hostess staff were all dressed in traditional German garb, which was really funny, them being Chinese and all. Not speaking the language, we didn't know how it worked. There was a buffet type thing in the middle, so we partook. After a few minutes they brought over some incredible meat on a skewer. And the meat just kept coming. We had tofu rolls (which I'm not sure are German) and pizza too. But we don't eat a lot of meat here, so our stomachs were really happy for the time being. I did eat a chicken heart, tasted good but was hard to swallow because of the mental picture.

We celebrated with the other birthdays for the month with our teammates last night and got some great gifts and played games. It was a great day.
