Today was not an eventful today. I was finally able to pick up my Chinese visa in Brooklyn but Ellie and I got lost on our way to the Chinese consulate. We arrived late and were not allowed to go up because the meeting had already started. We waited on the tour bus while they finished. When their meeting ended, we talked on the bus about the different types of food in Xi’an.
The students recommended we try bingtanghulu, which is candied fruit. They also said that the many different types of noodles in Xi’an are much better than the noodles in America.
We are spending our last night with the Chinese students in the dorms at Pace University tonight. Ellie and I do not know if we are participating in their schedule tomorrow because we must pick up Ellie’s visa in Brooklyn before departing for Beijing.
