Today we celebrated Happy Teacher's day here in China. Some students gave us cards, notebook, flowers, candy, and one class even sang a song in Chinese for me (Kealy). Everyone at the college said "Happy teacher's day!" as they passed by. It was fun! Instead of going home for our three hour break we decided to stay and have lunch at the college with some students and then walk to the park across the stree to take a nap on the benches by the river. It was a much cooler day because of the rain last night and early this morning. After our nap we went and I had cold water and Ryan enjoyed some ice cream. We also got our first paycheck, actually cash for the days we worked in August. Later this evening we went and sat and had some fresh BBQ vegetables and mystery meat, maybe beef, maybe dog? It tasted delicious.
This isn't a picture of what we ate tonight but it is similar. It is basically meat on a stick that is basted with spices and cooked over charcoal. It is very good.
We found out that the next two days we get off of teaching to greet the incoming freshman. It sounds like it could be an all day thing so we'll see how it goes, but it will be fun meeting the students and other faculty. We had a Staff meeting today and it was all in Chinese so our friend Kate translated some for us. We only have two more classes two teach the rest of the week and then it is on to Shanglin for the week. We'll keep you posted.
Until next time,
Kealy and Ryan
