First of all...

The food was awesome. Matt and I just got back from our trip to Zhangjiajei, but first we stopped in Xiangton, which is where our program director and his wife live. When we got there we were starved so we went to Pizza Hut right away, which was like a dream come true. Why, oh why, isn't there one of these great places in our area? I mean, Dico's has made my day like three times already, but it just doesn't cover my cheese cravings. The pizza was AMAZING, and we got this mashed potato appetizer (with cheese in it, gotta milk it right?) and a slice of ice cream cake for dessert. Ahh, I've dreamed about that meal everyday since. It was painful to look at the pictures and not know when I could again partake of the goodness. Anyways, Xiangton just got a Dairy Queen, so of course we couldn't discriminate, and we got a blizzard. Have they gotten better in America too? Man. It's lucky that Matt and I can't really eat that much any more (we usually only eat twice a day, and we have to share a bowl of oatmeal for breakfast because it's too much) because this night could have ended up costing us a fortune! I didn't want to stop eating! But Pizza Hut was about 15 dollars (still cheaper than America, but TONS more than anything else here) and the blizzard was just over three, I think that's about the same? We don't frequent the DQ (much more Wendy's people). Anyways... we had McDonald's as well. And I loved every single calorie in that big mac. Matt got two burgers (one in a combo) and I got a combo and then we got a shake and a pie thingy, and it was still only ten dollars. I love China, almost as much as I love cheese.

Basically food wise, this trip was the BEST.

Who would have ever thought that Pizza Hut, DQ and McDonald's could be considered the best three places they could eat?
