etting in some good climbs for the afternoon. If I ever use terminology referring to climbing that you don't know, just check out this website and it should help. http://www.abc-of-rockclimbing.com/climbingdictionary.asp I completed a 5.10A and a 5.10B, both with a little help from my belayer, and I also completely a 5.8 cleanly. Here are a few pics...The first one to the right is Mark.Me struggling on the 5.11B

A few of us also went and climbed Wine Bottle Wednesday after class. I took my camera but forgot my camera card. I did complete a 5.9, two 5.10A's and a 5.10B. Joe says I'm a natural, progressing quickly, and should start leading climbs as soon as possible. It's more dangerous to lead instead of top roping, which is what I'm doing now, but I think there's a lot more self reward involved because of the difficulty. If the rain holds off, we should go out a couple times this weekend.
Pay day is today at 4:30! So, I'm thinking about heading down and buying my own harness and chalk bag so that I won't have to keep bumming from everyone and being a freeloader. I'm still doing good with money, even though this past month was an expensive one from leisure activities, I still made it through and only on 2/3 of a month's pay.
Things are still going great here in Yangshuo. Last night was social night, which I'm not a big fan of, and each table played different games. Our table played spin the chopstick truth or dare. By the end of the night I had kissed 2 or 3 hands, a couple of cheeks, danced with a student, and did my own "sexy" dance in front of everyone. It's Friday, so that usually means KTV night, which is always an experience.
I'm sure everyone is still pretty high on excitement from the news of our newest family member! Hopefully I can skype Avery soon so that she'll get to meet her uncle Tony.
For now, that's all I have from China...
More to Come
