I wish I had some great pictures from the weekend to share but I actually only left my apartment for about 2 hours the whole weekend. I had a very long week and I also was not feeling very well. It was nice to relax and get some lesson planning down. Plus I got to catch up on some HIMYM…I am sooooooo behind! So since I didn’t do much worth pictures I thought I would share some pics of my students. They really are super cute and you can get to see who I spend my days playing with! 

the baby of the class

the bad boy

My sweetheart 🙂

I love her hairstyles everyday

see…she is too cute!

they love pictures!

Saturday I took the bus alone for the first time…not scary just not in English AT ALL…. I can’t believe I have been gone a little over 3 months already. Its crazy to imagine. Its going to be a very long week since we work Saturday this week and then were off next week. Its weird how that works but government makes the rules and we follow. Anywho! I’m off to read your posts and live vicariously through your weekends 🙂

Ooh I am so excited for Friday to come!!! 
So remember this post where I talked about things that I learned in Thailand? Well it seems the skin whitening thing is not limited to just Thailand..its an Asian thing. The proof is in the pudding right? or something smart like that…behold a gift from one of my students parents for Teachers Day: 

Yes folks, that is a complete skin whitening kit! It includes: Whitening body wash, Whitening body lotion, 2 Whitening facial skin care kits and whitening sunscreen. They do not mess around. I would be offended but I know it was genuinely meant as a gift and was in fact very expensive. They don’t realize in a few months when there is no sun I will get very pale. Well as pale as my half Dominican skin will let me be. I couldnt help but laugh when I got it because I had been complaining earlier that morning that I needed to take advantage of one of the teachers pools and lay out on my break. 

Anywho! Teacher’s week was great, lots of gifts that I could use were given. Including 600Y to what amounts to a Target here! Woo hooo for me! 

I had my first dinner with Chinese coteachers last night and it was great even though only one of them speaks enough English to be understood. 

I’ve got a week off coming for the National day here and I am trying to decide what to do! Looks like I will be heading to Hong Kong and maybe Guangzhou again! 

Hong Kong Disneyland here I come!!!
