Weekend Recap…

October 23, 2012

So I know I am a day late but yesterday I got home from work and slept. Woke for an hour made a post on my phone(where most of my pictures were anyway) and then realized I can’t use Blogger on my phone because its banned in China. Yay me. NOT. 

So here I go a day late trying to make a post! 

It was a good weekend! Friday evening me & SouthAfrican got lost trying to take a new bus to the grocery store. After getting to the end of the line in a not so friendly part of China we realized we were mistaken, walked back about 20 mins and waited for a cab. Turns out we were on the complete opposite end of town. Saturday GCgirl and I went spent the day shopping, had a Starbucks break and then some more shopping and Sushi. It was just like being at home..except everyone around us spoke Chinese and the only store with pants that fit was H&M haha! We met up with a bunch more foreign teachers at the bar and even though I knew I had to be up early for a sunday field trip with my students & parents I got home at 4am drunk. Smarty pants that I am. Sunday was actually quite nice despite my roaring hangover. The park we visited was quite beautiful and the weather allowed me to wear jeans w/out dying from heat stroke. 

Sooo now that I am done typing away you can look at the pictures!!! 

Mango Passionfruit Tea! 

delicious sashimi! 
Girls day out 🙂 

two Canadians & one American 🙂 
around 3am 🙂 

OOoh my god yes a Strongbow!! 

entrance to the park! 

some of my cuties doing 5 little monkeys with me 

They had a little kiddie river the kids could fish in 

Cheese! 

My chinese co-teachers! 

Have to stop and smell the roses!  

Great part of having Chinese people with you is they always want to take your picture everywhere! 

They know how to pack a lunch! 

One last one 🙂 




That was my weekend!
