Update

One the right hand side of my blog you see a picture slideshow. I made the Keyword "chengdu" thus, it displays photos from flickr that have that keyword. I was watching the slideshow of pictures the other day and I clicked on a picture and browsed some of the photos. I messaged the owner of the flickr account and he replied pretty fast. He is an American working over in China (I think) and he gave me a long description of Chengdu from his point of view. I think he took all of the doubt I had away. I doubted if I'd like Chengdu a little but now I know that I'll like it or at least enjoy it more than I thought. He said that it's not very fast paced, said that there are foreigner spots I could go to and feel like I was in America, and recomended some restaurants (American and good Chinese food). He said its a little hard to find cloths that'll fit an American if you are tall and said to bring extra cloths. He also said that the people are very friendly but I might encounter might have never seen a foreigner and I'd get looks a lot. His final thought was that in China you need to expect 70% quaility in everything.

This helped me a lot. I am so greatful! Praise God!!
