But we are adjusting well or at least I'm am now. So Sunday came the first day in China and some of my co workers and I decided to go site seeing. We went to the Emperor Qinshihuang Mausoleum Site Museum with all the warriors!
So cool! I had a whole history lesson that day which was so fun! I think the funnest part of the day was the amount of people that asked to take pictures with US because we are Americans! Pretty fun stuff!
Monday... Started off with a cast meeting and a safety lesson by our security guard. (He looks like Liam from the movie Taken) Sooo I feel pretty safe when he's around! Then we all met with our language coach to learn the script in Chinese. Wow that was quite a challenge and I still have a lot of practicing to do before our first show! Tuesday was like that again... All Chinese! This education that I am getting here is fantastic couldn't ask for anything better! Wednesday through Friday were spent in a studio that is so beautiful!
Wow I can hardly explain how good it felt to be in a studio again. I think it's my home away from home for sure! I love to dance so much! I was in the studio from about 9-5 learning the whole show piece by piece, it ROCKED! I love my job so much! It really is a dream come true! My body and brain were fried by Friday night along with some of my co workers bodies and brains, too.
We decided to find a spa for a massage. Well... I had a feeling it was probably going to be an adventure! (I somewhat prepared myself) We found the spa and had some interesting things happen. When I finally laid down to get the massages...(I was ready for a nice relaxing time) yeah, forget about the nice...relaxing part... I got slapped! Yep she slapped my arms, my legs, and the rest of me! Not relaxing at all! I think the lady also played crack the egg on my head about a dozen times. Not cool at all. All I could do is laugh. The worst part was while I was being slapped my friend Scott was next to me getting his belly rubbed while being hand feed watermelon by one of the ladies. What the heck! It did end well with a foot and neck massage by a different lady. At least I left the place happy! Not the ideal massage but a fun story!
Saturday... Studio time with the whole cast rocked because I could finally piece together and make sense of everything I had learned during the week. The puzzle pieces were finally coming together to create an amazing show that will bring many smiles to many people! Then after a long day of rehearsal and blocking most the cast cleaned up and got ready for a night on the town...
We went and had great food at a real restaurant. Ahhhh real food! I got stake....mm mm hmmm! Oh and CHEESECAKE! YUM!
Then we went out dancing afterwards which was a blast! Sometimes we would have the whole floor to ourselves! LOVED IT!
Over all this experience has been INCREDIBLE! I promise I am doing well and loving my job and the people I work with! To stay in touch email me at...

I love and miss you all so much thank you for always supporting me in everything I do! Remember to smile always and live in the moment!

Ashley,
ReplyDeleteI can't believe you are actually there! I am SO happy for you, looks like you are having a blast!! I didn't realize you had to learn the script in Chinese... so crazy! I bet you are doing awesome. Love you!
Missing you! Abby has just offered to show you how to use the "squatty potties." We're all laughing here. She is an expert. Take good care of yourself. We'll be excited to hear your Chinese.
