Guzheng lessons!

So my lessons on Thursday went pretty well. It's definitely harder than it looks but most things are haha! Reading the music is so different from the piano but it's much easier. I practiced today for an hour and I'm starting to pick things up. There's a couple things I have to work out like relaxing my hand. My hand is too tense when I play and that can lead to problems. It's getting better though. I have lessons tomorrow and then on Tuesday of next week I'm going to go out and buy a Guzheng for myself! I'm very very excited! I'll post a picture or two when I get it. These instruments are so beautiful. I'm so glad I'm here in China and I have the opportunity to take lessons.

On a side note I had McDonalds today! Good ol' Chinese McDonalds! I was in downtown Xiangtan at the bank and I decided I was going to try it. I got the chicken wrap thing from the dollar menu (which is actually the 6 yuan menu here in China well the 6 yuan and sometimes the 7 yuan menu). It was really good but sooooo spicy! That's okay I'm getting used to the spice and I loved the taste! I'm going to assume that it's a probably more spicy than in the U.S. but I can't be certain. That's it for now! Things are going great! Love you all and miss you tons!
