A few days ago our family went with another family to a school in the countryside of Tianjin. It was very interesting seeing the different ways the people live in the countryside compared to the city. When we got there we were welcomed (or you could say not welcomed) by watch dogs.  The school was very small and only about 5 rooms. The people who went to the school were in their twenties and lived at the school. Since we were pretty far away from our apartment, we stayed the night there.  It was VERY cold and had no heating!   But, the students were prepared with huge blankets so it wasn’t too bad.  Also you had go outside to get to the squatty-potty bathroom!  Although we had to get out of our comfort zones, when we were there the students and teachers were very kind and loving to us.This is where they cooked their food
