I am proud to say that I am 100% vegan now...not by choice. Back home, I skipped out on everything else, but still ate cheese. Here, good luck finding the stuff. Cheese, I have not forsaken you. I think about you everyday.
--This will be the grossest paragraph you will ever read, so feel free to skip it.--
So I believe this blog may just become my bathroom diary. I went from "Buddha Butt" to "The Case of the Disappearing Poop." I’m not sure what my body has chosen to do with my fecal matter, but it’s been missing for 6 days, and for a vegan, that is very peculiar. I don’t know which is more disconcerting: poop as a liquid or poop in a gaseous form. I’m a little concerned about my body these days.
**Edit: Guess who pooped and doesn’t have an impacted bladder?! That’s right, it was me. Hopefully, it won’t be another six days before my next bathroom adventure.**
In other, less revolting news, I just want to say that I am so glad that my father taught me how to use chopsticks when I was a little girl. The skill is coming in very handy here.
I know that in the last blog, I sounded pretty down and just about ready to leave. Although I cannot wait to get home, I am going to stick it out...pooping or not pooping my way along. I am comparing this trip to every mountain I climb. I always want to quit because it’s awful, but never do because I know I’ll regret not making it to the top.
Tomorrow, we’re going to take a bus to Guilin, where we will eat McDonald’s! Now, we never eat this at home, and are usually disgusted by it, but I am definitely looking forward to tomorrow. French fries. I’m going to get French fries! Seeing as how chips, soda, and Oreos are the only Western food we can find here, it is safe to say that I have eaten more junk food in the past month than I have in my entire life. (Maybe the cause of my poop problems?) And I have still lost some weight. I’m back in my size 8s! Booyaaah. Are you looking for a guaranteed weight loss plan? Head on over to China!
UPDATE: Scratch the Guilin. We aren't going at all...we have to teach.

This is terrible! As I read your blog, I was excited for you that you were going to get french fries. I thought "I hope she gets there and nothing happens that will deter the blessed fries!" Then, by the end of the blog, I already knew the disappointment. I felt it in my heart.
