Alyssa and I caught a cab at 5:45 this morning for the airport. By 10:30, we were settled into our hostel in Chengdu! Our hostel is in a great location, similar to the hutongs in Beijing. For lunch we had 担担面 (Sichuan Noodles) and 包子 (Baozi). The food here is super spicy and super delicious. After lunch we walked around a bit and watched a man make dragons/flowers out of melted sugar by dripping it onto wax paper.
After exploring our neighborhood, we took a cab to the major shopping area. It was packed, but I guess this is a city of 9 million people.... Hopefully tomorrow we'll go see some pandas. Cross your fingers for good weather for us. Also, Gabe and Kelsey are meeting us tomorrow! I love hanging out with people from school in random Chinese cities.
