Hey everyone, look at this, I'm updating my blog! wooo!
so the new hair is still exciting, but its kinda dropped a bit now.. gutting. but faith has made friends with the hairdresser (through the art of flirting) and apparently he has called to invite us there any time n he'll do my hair for free! yey!
i was inspired to write cos 2 lovely things have happened today- the lesser shocking of the 2 first:
I was on my way down to the internet cafe (as our comp is still broken) and said hello to the guard on the gate. he's my favourite one, maybe 45years old, always smiley, with a beautiful daughter. He asked where i was going n i explained, then he wanted to know if i cud drink baijyo n i said that i couldn't, that i only drink beer n he said that some time we'll drink together. Then i offered to buy him a drink from the juice bar at the gate and he said he didnt want anything but came over with me and was joking with the woman there about it being too expensive (its 1 yuan! 6p!) and then paid for mine. He's really sweet. And, everything was in chinese!!!!
The more shocking thing.... today a student gave me 2 tiny turtles!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! i am now a pet owner! they are stunningly cute! i just have to hope that they dont die cos she didnt bring me any food to give them, but she'll give it me tonight. I love them so much! i havent thought of english names for them yet- email your suggestions!
okay, what else has been going on here... It was Romy's birthday last week so there were TONNES of students came round... some invaded armed with silly string and trashed the place! (well, kinda, it was just messy really and it wasnt great before either lol)... We (well she) got given 3 big cakes, which we managed to eat... went out to top one and had a really good night- i embarassed myself in front of the dj, danced alot, drank alot, talked alot....... and paid! Her friend Simon is here from australia on his way back from Israel so we've been doing the sightseeing thing again, which is always nice- been on 2 long bike rides this weekend- one with a hilariously drunk chinese guy. I would be so fit and healthy if it wasnt for the beer!
Teaching is still good. I'm starting to really like some of my kids, they're just lovely... I'm gonna miss alot of them. They always make me laugh... last week i was making my students draw their ideal bf/gf (which for starters is incredibly funny for them. One boy actually stood up and said (when picked on) that he hadnt drawn a picture because he was chinese and chinese people should not choose their ideal partner until they were an adult... i.e 18).. and one of the boys in my class had written on his paper 'my girlfriend' with an arrow pointing down to a mirror he was holding to the paper and every time i walked past he tried to get my reflection in the mirror!
cant think of much else to write. Oh yeah... i have 2 schools that want me to teach english from next january. i'm torn between them.. one is run by a friend, one has a hot french guy that i want to be my friend.............. life is so hard! lol. I'm going to talk to everyone, and see what i can do.
off to english corner then. you should all email more! :p life is great here, i hope everytthing is going well for all of you over there. love always xxxxxxx
