August 13, 2011<\/p>\n

This is really the first Saturday that we have earned because we worked 2 days! What a week it has been. Firstly organizing classes, getting rooms set up, and meeting kids for the first time. My PK class was amazingly bad. I had 2 other adults in the room, and kids squirming all over them some of them weeping. But we got through \u2018A tisket a tasket\u2019 so it\u2019s a start. Fourth graders on the other hand were little angels; incredibly sweet. Nice, this honeymoon period!<\/p>\n

And socially, a big week. Terrell had a birthday on Wednesday and became a year younger. We celebrated with new friends; just wonderful!!<\/p>\n

Birthday celebrations<\/p><\/div>\n

\u2018Friday night drinks\u2019 was laid on by the school at a lovely place just up the road, called the Blueberry Farm (or something like that) It\u2019s been hot and very steamy weather, so the beers went down a treat. Today the whole place has been shrouded in mist; there must be 100% humidity. And afterwards a group of us headed further up the mountain to a Chinese restaurant and had an absolute feast\/banquet for less than $9 each. The food was fantastic, definitely a place to return to.<\/p>\n

So today it\u2019s Saturday and most folks have taken the school bus and gone to Dalian to buy more supplies. We decided to venture out on our own and found a little local street with local shops\u2026.at local prices! Nice. We also both had a hair cut for the big outlay of $2.50 each, including shampoo and head massage. Terrell looks decidedly Asian.<\/p>\n

We are having a ball.<\/p>\n
