Well no matter the fact that I have been in China for almost a year I must still be doing something innately foreign because I still get pointed at at small children and called Wei gua ren(Foreigner).  Maybe it's my accent when I try to speak Chinese.  Hmm.  Well at any rate they are at least getting more polite when they say it.  It has gone from just stopping me in the street pointing at me and sayin it to now saying Wei Gua Ren Hao(lit:Foreigner good) which translates into Foreigner Hello.(hello-Ni Hao(Ni means you so literally "you good?") And as a foreigner and since i will be leaving I am making a list of the things I will miss in China:
1. Street Food - Always good, always open, whether it be BBQ or noodles or stir fry or chao mein or pineapple on a stick

2. Prices - Even with inflation everything is cheap. WHy can't I get dinner out for 2 or 3 dollars in the States(That isn't fast food)

3. Cheap Restaurants - Kinda goes along with 2 but all you can eat sushi for $9.00, all you can eat teppenyaki with kobe beef, shrimp, salmon and all you can drink sake

4. DVDS - Yes I know I know these are bad, they hurt the copyright holders etc but when you are homesick and want to see a movie that is in English it's nice to be able to get it for $1.50

5. Being Special - I am special in China, people look at me and its fun.  I was on the metro and a couple of girls came up and took some pictures with me last week, and its happened a few other times too plus its fun to be bad at chinese but still have people compliment you o it just because you are trying and say a few words

6.My Students - Not all of them, some of them i want to throw out of windows but the good ones and the girl that I tutor I will miss
