Okay, so when they said we were going to climb a mountain it really meant we would climb a mountain. I woke up at 5am and we picked up Rebecca to go with us. Then we headed to the mountain and started our climb. A 45 minute hike up thousands of steps (very steep I would add) to the top of the mountain. I was surprised at how many people there were hiking the mountain. Half way through there was a look out spot where someone created a rest spot. This person makes tea for all the hikers. Of course it is free. When you get o the top there is another tea stop and hundreds of people doing other exercises. Tomorrow we are going to go again and on Sunday (our free day - free as in we have no organized plans, but our families make all our plans) we are going to a mountain with monkeys.
This morning we went to the dough knead handcraft museum. It is a museum with figures made out of play dough. Then they made us each a play dough figurine of our animal for the year we we born and then we got to make animals. It was fun to play all morning.
Today there were no crazy foods to report. Just lamb for lunch and a buffet dinner with items that i have already told you about. I did eat rice with whole baby shrimps no bigger than the size of my knuckle for breakfast.
Kim met up with us this afternoon which was a little weird. We visited a town hall were the mayor presented us all gifts (a gold flower pendant because the town is known for its flowers). Then we toured the town. There was a bonsai tree park. Orchid plants are everywhere here and are very cheap. We walked through flower patches were they grow flowers to be shipped to flower shops all over. They taught us how to properly pick flowers and set us loose in a field of gerber daisies. We were each told to pick about 1/2 dozen flowers and take them home. They are beautiful and are bright colors.
After dinner Adidas and Jill (his daughter) took me to their company. Okay so what they do got a little lost in the translation. They take fabrics and add things to it for their customers (Nike, Adidas, New Balance, Helly Hanson, etc.) They add the color, UV protection, rain protection, etc. They also put a seam in the material but that is about it. Adidas said he had something for our team and when we got back to their house he gave me 5 pairs of Adidas sweatpants for us. This is crazy - I should be the one doing tons for them and not the other way around.

Okay so this is the 3rd time I've tried to post a comment and it won't let me. Maybe your blog just knows how jealous I am. Gerber Daisies are my FAVORITE flowers! Not fair! Sounds fun at the playdough factory. It can get messy so we don't play too much here with it. I guess you got some good exercise on your hike. Just think you get to do it again! Fun fun! Sweet deal with the sweatpants. It sounds like everyone is really going out of their way to make your guys' experience great! YEAH FOR YOU! Keep having fun and miss me the mostest!
