Hike and Chinese

Today I went for a hike around the area that was behind campus. I found a church and decided to check out the grave yard that was just nearby. I could only spend so long in the grave yard because it was giving me some bad vibes. Since I started the meditations I have been more in tune with good and bad vibes and something about that graveyard didn't float right. Eventually I had to just leave, so I did.

Afterwards I found a little hiking area through the forest. I met lady on the other side and I guess she was trying to figure out a better way to see the waterfall but I didn't really know what she was talking about at the time. I turned around and went back a different direction and voila, a waterfall. I further explored the area and it had the feeling that fall was definitely here.

When I returned to the house I spent some time with a roommate and a friend and I tried to learn some more Chinese. I've determined that Chinese is a dangerous language to try to learn. At one point I tried to say one thing a wound up saying one of the most vulgar thing that you can say in Chinese which consists of just two simple and very common sounds. Later I tried to say: "I can't cook" instead I said "I don't eat shit." Just a simple change of the sound and you change the entire meaning of the phrase.

So that pretty much sums up my day.

At least you managed to say you DON'T eat shit...had you left out the negative things would have been worse...

I don't know, it probably would have been more hilarious.
