9 PM

Today is the 10th day since I came to Wuxi from London.

At lunch, my friend Zhao Min said, “Shirley, try eating xiaolongbao like a local!” I picked one up with chopsticks, but the dumpling broke, and hot soup sprayed onto my classmate Chen Dan’s shirt. He jumped up and shouted, “British attack” Everyone in the dining hall laughed.

In Chinese class, our teacher asked us to talk about hobbies. I wanted to say, “I like painting scenery (fengjing)”, but I accidentally said fengzheng instead. The teacher smiled and said, “Hmm… That’s interesting” Now my friend Zhang Ke keeps saying, “Show me your kite art!”

The funniest part was PE class. We played jianzi. On my first try, I kicked it so hard that it flew onto the roof The coach shook his head, but Zhao Min whispered, “Use your shoe like this” I tried again and kicked it 3 times Everyone cheered. I felt so proud!

I miss my friends back in London. But life in Wuxi is full of surprises, and I’m starting to love it here.
