Do you have any extra....everything!?

What would you do if you were half-way around the world and had no underwear?! I would really like to get your feed back because as you see friends while Hong Kong has spotless bathrooms, their baggage department could use some cleaning up. Currently I find myself in China with little more than my laptop, my book and the clothes I was wearing on the plane...for a day and a half. Ah, no matter hopefully it will arrive tomorrow. Until then I will sport the dirty American look, I think I can make it work!
As far as host families go mine is amazing! My host-mother, LiuXin is a professor at the school of international education at Yunnan University (my university!) and speaks English (its a plus for those hard to find words)! Also in the family is her husband ShijinYun and their two children, an adolescent girl, Xiao Hu and an infant aptly nick-named BeiBei! (Baby)! I haven't had the chance to really get to know them all yet, but ShijinYun, though quiet, offered me some packaged fish. I think we will get along swimmingly...HA...HA!
I haven't seen much of the city yet either but LiuXin took me to a local and popular street to get some much needed supplies! The city has such an amazing life to it, in fact just outside my window (I am on the 6th floor of an apartment) are a bunch of vendors selling fruits and veggies But more on that later.
Oh and I almost forgot, I met a student from my program on the plane ride over here (oddly he was sitting directly behind me). His name is Nick he is amazingly friendly! We have already made plans to quote "tear the town up!" Ill let you know how all that goes!
Zaijian my friends!
