Looking for Western food in Weifang? We've been there! It took months to figure out a place we could by chips and salsa or a good burger in Weifang.

A Taste of Home
A recurring difficulty living in China, was food. We are a family of foodies, we love all types of foods which made the first couple weeks in China great, but after we had tried so many new Chinese dishes, we missed variety. Something we were always trying to do was recreate dishes from home, but it took a lot of tweaking. Not having the same ingredients or equipment were the 2 biggest set backs.

Food Fails
This morning Drew and I didn't have classes, so we thought it could be fun to spend the morning together and make a yummy breakfast.

I was especially excited about this idea, because I thought that banana pancakes would be something that would taste like home, that could be made here in China

A night in
Most days we spend as much time as we can out of the house. We go out to lunch, we go out to dinner, and in between, we look for new places to eat and parks to explore. We've run in to wetlands and amusement parks, and found all sorts of cool things, but sometimes you just need a day in. That was today. We decided we would get take out and watch a movie at home all together and just relax. I didn't realize how much I had missed TV, and how deprived I was for entertainment in
