This morning my family gave me a delicious cakey dumpling with vegetables and meat filled on the inside. It was a very good meal to start the day off with.
My host sister, Angela said that at 10:30 four of her friends would come over and we would go shopping. We took the underground to get there, which was very exciting. It was packed with many people, but was a fun ride. I kept falling all over the place, next time I'll hold on to something. Once we got off, we stopped at a resturaunt and ordered meat-filled dumplings and soup with noodles, vegetables and dumplings. The food cost 8元,or about $1. It was one of the best foods I have ever tasted. After lunch, we shared a shaved ice with ice cream and mango dessert. It was very tasty, and the mangos were fresh and sweet. Once we all were full, we walked to a huge outdoor shopping area. I've never seen so many people in one place, it was so cool! We stopped at a variety of stores. The smells from the street were filled with savory dumpling, sweet desserts, and spicy meats. I bought many cute gifts to bring back home with me! We spent about 6 hours shopping, so I became very tired. However, I still had a lot of fun with Angela and her friends.
