A storm cam through and it was raining too hard to visit any villages.  One of the interns was going to survey one of the manufacturing districts to watch for illegal dumping (which can occur more often when it rains).  I really wanted to go with him, but was not allowed because I am a foreigner.  The government has warned NGOs that foreigners are forbidden from entering manufacturing areas.  So instead I had the day off and had lunch with some of the other interns and biked to the city center was the rain had cleared.  That night I went to a presentation about a lady’s teaching experience at a Confucius Institute in the USA.  It was at the same cafe that I would be presenting at.
