It's been a few days so I better get caught up. A typical week and school, nothing special happened.
But today (Saturday Sept 22) is the celebration for the 60th anniversary of the University.
 We went to the ceremony this morning and had good seats. Unfortunately, all they did was talk. The did let loose some balloons and birds, that was pretty cool. Other than that, they had lots of speeches, in Chinese of course. Below are some pictures I took on the way to and in the event.
 This is the entrance into the stadium. Note, here they do not call it a stadium but a 'playground'. It has a track and a soccer field in it.
 The three ladies sitting are Sandy, Christine and Gale. You can see the top of Rosemary's head. Sandy and Christine are part of the BYU teacher group. The lady standing in the middle of the picture is Zoe. She invites us to her home to do thinks with her kids so they can improve their english.
 Here is a group of students that were in the section next to us
 The guy running this camera focused on us way too much.
 This is at the entrance to the old campus.
 Christine and our 'flag' bearer just before we walked into the stadium. we marched in 3by3.
 This is a construction project of about 6 30 story apartment buildings. They are made of concrete. There are hundreds of these projects going on in Xi'an.
