Our Monday started off with Morning Formation. The way they do it is similar to the way we do it, but also very different. Only the licensed majors have to attend, and it is held once a week. All the cadets line up just as we would. An officer comes out with a microphone and starts yelling something. It was pretty funny because I wasn’t expecting it and I had no idea what he was saying. He must of said something funny because all of the Chinese students were laughing at us after wards. Any ways after he stopped talking, everyone was silent. Then an Honor Guard meticulously marched in front and raised the flag. They march a little differently as shown in the pictures. The flags of the other countries were raised as well. Their morning formation is not as long, and the weather is a little warmer. Best of all we can sneak our hands in our sleeves every once in a while. Once that ended we ate breakfast, and awaited our first class.
The way our class schedule works out is we have two classes on Monday, and then one class Tuesday Wednesday Thursday and Sunday. So far our classes have been pretty good. I like the way our schedule is set up because aside from homework, we have a lot of spare time to do whatever we want. The other day we taught some Chinese kids how to play American Football. Although it was complete chaos, they loved it and so did we. We will soon be playing basketball which they all love. Everyone here is obsessed with the Lakers, Kobe Bryant and of course Yao Ming. Chinese Culture class is probably the best class so far. It has been a good first week. It is now Thursday, and tonight we head into the city for the first time. It should be a great experience.
