After a 1.5-hour flight to Las Angeles then a 12-hour flight
to South Korea then a 3.5 hour flight to Guangshou and a 2 hour bus ride we
finally made it to Zhongshan, CHINA! We were dropped off at the bottom of this
hill and had to roll all our bags to the top of the hill. It’s unbelievably
humid here, so everyone was dripping sweat by the time we got to the top. In my
apartment there are five girls with two bathrooms. We apparently live in one of
the nicest places in China… We have AC but we can’t turn it below 26 degrees Celsius
(78 degrees Fahrenheit). We have a washer (that can only wash five items at a
time) but we don’t have a dryer. We are supposed to hang all our clothes on the
balcony, but I’m not so sure they will dry considering how humid it is.
Once we got into our apartment I tried unpacking but I was
so tired I had to take a nap. I took a nap, but in between my nap I had a
slight panic attack because I felt like I couldn’t breathe. So logically I
opened the door to my balcony to get some fresh air outside. However, its so
humid outside it didn’t even feel like I left my room. After my nap I ate
dinner with some of the girls in my apartment. Our coordinators here made us
fried rice for dinner. Then I took a much-needed shower and hung out with all
the girls for a little while. We then had a meeting of all the rules and
precautions. After the meeting our power went out, which means no AC. I feel
like I’m going to have another panic attack during the night…

Bathroom - thankfully we don't have a squatter toilet, but we can't flush toilet paper down the toilet
