First full day

Well, overall I think I make it through the day pretty well. I got up and worked out so I think that helped. Breakfast at the hotel is really nice. Things are defiantly different but since it was a buffet I just tried a bunch of different things. Lunch was the adventure! The people I'm working with took me to a traditional lunch location downtown as kind of a welcome lunch. It was as traditional as I think you can get. I couldn't tell you what the name of anything was but I made sure it wasn't dog or cat. It was all home-style so I got to try all kinds of things: Shrimp dumplings, Seafood something (about the size of sushi but wrapped in a rice sheet, Fried egg and pork (looked like an omelet) and something like beef stew over greens. All and all it was really fun and I had quite the challenge with my shop sticks. I wish I would have taken pictures but I didn't want to be that dorky tourist.
