On this day, every Alliance student left their classrooms in a state of shock, saying such things as, "That was awful, I don't think I can survive four months of this." I actually needed a recovery period after three hours of high intensity Chinese class. I hit a wall around an hour and a half, where I couldn't handle more and could no longer speak simple Chinese, that didn't stop the class. Saying that we got though a day only seemed to make it worse, we still have every day after today left.
On a brighter note, the crossing of streets is getting better. Its fun even. Just be confident, take it one lane at a time and stand perfectly still while cars run of either side of you, just be ready to move in case somebody has decided to drive in the middle of two lanes. When in doubt walk next to a Chinese person. I don't think I will ever get used to the feeling you get when a bus is driving straight at you.
