You gotta start someplace

Perhaps I should've practiced posting from the computer because right now I can't figure out how. The dropdown items are in Chinese:) Oh well, future Tina will figure it out (with help).
So far so good, my friend Sammy picked me up from the airport got me to my hostel, and fed. How do I ever do this without a local?!? I learned how to make tea (there is powder not bags) and smelled what I assume to be real fresh wassabi. I've slept and now ready for my first day.
