Monday...May 9

so now i'm in my friend's hotel room. he's got a computer with internet accesss... and it's so much better than the internet cafe i was in 15 minutes ago. ok, so here's some pics...

crap, the pics won't upload.. i'll have to try again later. ok here's just another update that i remembered after looking thru my pics..

- we had a sports night on saturday. me, jerry, and luke played 3 on 3 ... we lost our first game in like, 1 minute. it was up to 5. so ... that sucked, and i was mad. cause one of the chinese guys looked like he was laughing at me. so ... eventually, we got back on the court, and we won like 10 games in a row against different teams... it's not really something i can brag about though, 'cause everyone there is really skinny.. and we were taller than everyone there. and.. on top of that, luke's probably weighs twice as much as any of them. haha.
- we went to an aquaculture (a "farm" for alligators, turtles, fish.. crabs, shrimp) and it was CRAZY. they farm them in these rooms at like 45-50 degrees celsius... we went into these farms.. and i swear.. after 10 seconds, the sweat just starts pouring out... i could barely stand it in there for 5 minutes... and argh, wish i could show pics... anyways, it was cool! 'cause these animals are ectotherms.. so, by increasing the heat by that much.. it will increase their growth rate.. for example, alligators take 3 years to grow to adults..or reproduce.... but by doing it this way, they cut it down to 8 months..

anyways, that's it for now.
