Nothing happened on Tuesday so I watched Hancock again. The next day was awesome. My dad and I destroyed cabinets with mallets and sledgehammers. There were these huge 7 ½ foot cabinets and my dad would pull them straight to the ground and we would break them apart with sledgehammers and mallets. The next day started off okay, but didn’t end that way.
We went to Home Depot to buy oil-based paint (which they didn’t have). I saw this cool knife. It was the Chinese version of a Swiss army knife. It was only 38 Yuan which is about $5.00 so I bought it.
At the house, I threw all of the debris in a large trash pile. Well, that was all that had to be done that day so I went back to the apartment.
That night we were getting ready for a Halloween party. I didn’t have a costume so I wore some camo, put black stuff under my eyes and brought my knife. I was meant to be an army soldier. At the party, they had pumpkin carving so I tried it out with my new knife. After I cut a whole in the top, I decided it looked very uneven. I guess I didn’t know what I was doing because I stuck the knife in the bottom and worked my way up. The knife went right through the top and struck me in my left index finger. There was blood everywhere. I had to go to a Chinese hospital and get three stitches in my finger. Luckily, there was a doctor at the party who used to work at the hospital. So, she brought us in the back door, literally, and I was stitched up immediately. My entire left hand was red with blood.
The next day we went sight seeing. We saw the Terra Cotta Warriors, the Xi’an City Wall, and the market, in that order. I loved the market because you can bargain a lot, which got me a new pair of sun glasses.
