Lovin Luoyang

Everyone meet our Chinese family!

Meet more of our Chinese family!

Now meet even more of our family!

Jared and I love all of our little babies so much! They're goinging up so fast, sniff, sniff.

Besides our babies though we love our Chinese Grandmas.

These lovely ladies are two of the lunch ladies.The lady on my right and I are wearing the same shirt! Or close to it. When I pointed this out to her she almost fell off her chair she was so excited. They don't think their fashionable so when that's why she was so excited. (I had someone tell me that after).

They are also so sassy! Jared and I are still working on our chop stick skills and when they saw us using chop sticks they just started laughing and wouldn't stop. How embarrassing. We powered through the language barrier and learned how to use chop sticks like a real Asian! They were so proud of us. The lunch we spent with them was probably one of my most favorite 30 minuets scence we've gotten here. Look how cute their smiles are.

But this next picutre is my favorite

Look you can see their uniform the wear to work. It's the purple jacket I'm wearing.

Oh here's my Chinese boyfriend who always wants to take picutres with me when he sees me.

 

This is our first couples picture.

 

Now here are some of Old Town in Luoyang. It was amazing!!

Here's Jared at the enterance

If you go on Pinterest and type in Luoyang, China it mostly pulls up Longmen Grottoes, and BBQ street. I wanted to know where BBQ street was but I couldn't find it on any maps, web sites, or anything. I was so sad because I didn't even know where to look. Then later that day we found it! Here's a video of what a small section looks like. The two people saying hello by Jared and Dave and Lily. He's a teacher at our school, she grew up here, and they got married about a year ago.

Yep it's pretty cool here!

This is a sweet pipe I found there. I thought it was a Chinese flute. Lily (The Chinese lady) told me it's for druds. Specifically Opium. Sadly Jared didn't let me get it even thought I begged and begged.

Here was the coolest thing though. Colored Chicks! My dad told me not to buy any or I couldn't come home. I wanted to though so badly!
