a good day

I've been here for two days so my blog could no more then be summarized in one sentence.
So I decide to add one: it is another good day here!
And special thanks for Matt cause when I was lost arround the nearby church, fortunately I saw him walking towards me, smiling and waving. In this unfamilliar surroundings, it iwas so good to have such an ORACLE pointed out a bright way leading to my "deatination".
Today we had a bus tour arround the richmond city.i will share something interesting with you tomorrow.
to all the visitors attacted by the title:there's nothing wrong it's just for your attention,thank you.

I am a mtg fan.Actually I have been playing it for several years.Mtg(magic the gathering) is a kind of card game, some like bridge cards but not use poker with no relation to magic... Before I came here, I expect for seeing the local mtg store,changing cards or if lucky getting some signitures from the painters i like.
But now i am really disappointed.i asked several intern student, only one or two them had heart about it not to say playing it.actually, they prefer star war games which i think is childish.
finally i search the internet, and find a number of the local store. it mainly sells cromix and mtg count is just in the corner.however i am still looking forward to the trip there...

MTG (magic the gathering) is a card game which i have playing it for several years in China.However, because of its high price and complicated rules, it is not popular in SH. Only few people know it and less than 200 people play it in shanghai.So it's my dream to play the game in USA,the place where the game oriented and has a large population of the MTG fans.

Friday afternoon, my dream came ture.With the help of intern students, i found a MTGstore not very far from the school and had the chance to play several games with local people.Comparing with the competitive format i played in China, the local people chose a more casual way which i've never knew before: 6 people sit arround the table and play his/her own deck.The other players seemed to be old friend so i was not accutomed to the rules at first, so i lost several games, but that'is not important, i had fun, that enough...

it is a nice beach and fortunately it is a nice day today. it is my first time to try vollyball on the beach. and i feel good to throw myself on the sands to save a ball although it seems to be kind of awkward. the sandy beach is soft it is comfortable to have a close touch with the ground.
billy basked in the sun with happiness and searched for the beauties in the same time, however ,got burst in his back....poor guy....god blessing....

the restaurant which is near the virginia beach is the most appropriate place to have dinner expect for the junk food restaurant like subways or kfc etc. because of its special offer of steak and the attraction of seafood. the squid there was wonderful and crab was the opposite.interestingly they were all cooked in the way we never see before.
the price is really high and none of us knew how to give tips to the waiter. i put a 5doller paper bills in the plate the waiter give me with my visa. after that i received a bill which has a column called "tips" and the waiter asked me whether the paper bill is for her curiously. then i realized the corect way of paying tips. it is really an interesting experience for me.

actually i dont much like this place. i totaly cant feel the breath of 18th century.the buildings are fake the streets seemed to be repaved. i cant resonate with what i see just like when i was visiting some other historical sites before.
the only thing comfort me was the sandwich store called "friday light "(if memory serves me) where i find my favirate taste of sandwich with a mixture of sauce that i can't name it and tuna fish.

walking in the ucrops, i was cought by a drink called "naked",involuntarily i take one into my trolley. it is really an impressive drink! the taste i never met before make me intoxicated. it contains real fruit juice and claims to be nutrimental and really deserves a try.

the outlet store near the williamsburg is great. i spend more than 200 dollars on my clothes and shoes....the first time....maybe not.... though the shoes of my favorite style has no size of my feet.but i still find a baseball suit of NewYork team.
wonderful tour!!!
