I decided to treat this Saturday like a Saturday should be treated…I slept in until 1:00 PM. After taking my time to get ready Russell and I decided to go and get a pizza from Pyro Pizza. We split a large pepperoni pizza and a large Caesar salad…we ate every bite. It was a great American meal. Over lunch we discussed the possibility of taking a trip to Shanghai on the weekend of July 1-3. The plane ticket would not be too expensive (around $150 USD round trip) and it would be an awesome trip to check out the most populated city in China. Russell also said that his Dad would help with the hotel as a birthday present. John (Tackaberry) had the original idea to take the trip because he had a friend in Shanghai for the summer. When we got back we went and talked with Yuan about the difficulties that a trip to Shanghai would present and he informed us that it would definitely be possible to pull off. He also gave us a gift from the PKU International Summer Program. It was a nice new backpack with the words “Peking University International Summer Program” printed across the front and a leather bound daily planner with the PKU logo (mine is red). After a few hours of lounging around Russell, John (Tackaberry), and I went and ate dinner at a place called The Bridge. It is actually the same place where we had the “Big American Breakfast” on the day of our Beijing tour…so I had the same thing for dinner to complete my day of American eating. After the dinner we went and hung out at Pyro Pizza for a little while. All the while we discussed the possibility of our trip to Shanghai. I went to bed early, anticipating the exciting day that was ahead of me tomorrow.
