So kinda by accident, i joined a Chinese volleyball team. Now most people know that i love sports, but volleyball has never been my specialty. However, i am 100 thousand times better than almost everyone on the team...and I'm modest, so it makes me that much cooler. Actually, there are a few decent players, but only one real standouts. Anyway, Abby and i went down to play one day with one of our Chinese friends, who is also a PE teacher, and before we knew it we were officially on the team. So everyday, about 5:30 or so, we have to go and practice with them. its interesting because they don't really play by any rules. In essence it's the same, but they occasionally kick the ball over the net (or at least attempt to). In any case, it's still fun.
Oh, and they also practice at 7:30 in the morning...but i still don't think double days are helping them much. I opt out of the morning practice because i tell them i have to get my beauty rest. Ok, that's a lie, but i do tell them that I'm busy in the morning and that i don't have time to take a shower before i have to teach class. The Chinese may not have a problem with being sweaty, but i do!
I guess that our first game in on Oct 11, so i will let you know how our first game goes. Wish my team luck!

Haha...think what you want, but i actually meant the PE Teacher. He's about 6'2" so he can actually spike it over the net. The rest of us however, don't have the luxury of being that tall.
