SNOW!

Last Friday it snowed!  It was the perfect kind of snow, heavy enough to make snowballs but light enough to not cause too much inconvenience.  I wanted to take more pictures but my camera battery died just as a girl was taking my picture infront of some trees.  Oh well, I think you get the point from these pictures.  The snow mostly melted the next day.  I still see a little here and there but I'll have to wait for another storm to get some pictures of me in it. 
 
Yesterday I had an enjoyable experience at the supermarket.  I wanted to buy some dumplings for lunch so I went to the hot food section at the market and asked the man behind the counter for about 15 dumplings (I was planning to share with Sam).  Its priced by weight, but the machine that printed the price labels was broken. I smiled and said to the guy "its broken, so the dumplings must be free."  (A typical joke my Dad would make.)  The guy laughed and said "yeah, I guess I should give it to you now"  I then said  I was just kidding, which I think he must have already known.  He took the dumplings to another weighing machine and put the price tag on it.  I can't say my chinese is that great but it felt good to make a joke and have a chinese person laugh because they understood it , and not because my chinese was so poor.
