au fait, as-tu recu la copie de ton long message en francais que j'ai suggere que tu corriges? ce serait bien si tu pouvais y repondre...

salut em,

comment va le moral? et la sante? c'est samedi 02/12 et je suis sur le point de prendre ma douche. ce soir, je vais celebrer l'anniversaire de 2 copines au resto 'BBs', ensuite j'irai celebrer l'anniversaire d'une autre copine au washington pub en ville. il fait un temps affreux, tres gris et pluvieux. zacko va tres bien et l'ecole aussi. je trouve que c'est super que tu aies decidee de rester plus longtemps; c'est une aventure que tu ne seras pas peut-etre prete de refaire dans l'avenir alors profites-en.
au cas ou, je te souhaite mes meilleurs voeux pour l'annee 2007.
en attendant de te revoir,
grosses bises,
maya

It's seriously taken me this long to work out A) what this thing is B) that there is a message board and C) how to post on it.
But its all come together now.
And i have nothing to say.
It's raining heavily, Im stuck on an essay about how the mongols kept russia in the dark ages and i have no food.
what i'm trying to say is - im jealous!
I hope you are harasho. and ill probably see you sometime.
Do sveedanya maya pa-drooga, Vooy ideesch cherez 'the great wall of china'. eto Harasho!

easy, sounds like things are lookin good like, nice one. Sounds like your making the most of it all, keep pushing the bar. Last night i tried to come on to a girl in the most terrible way possible, and you know ive had some disasters in the past, one day i'll tell you the story... thankfully im still a little bit pished so the humiliation and anguish hasnt kicked in yet.

keep in touch, and keep teaching those pesky kids. Do you ever get to say "its not my time your wasting, its your own.." thats a good teacher phrase.
mmmk back to bed methinks.xxxxxx

keep posting.. i cant believe ur staying till june. thats crazy. anyways. keep me up to date em. i still miss you.xx

Bonjour Emily,
Glad you are still enjoying China. We are like your pupils, forget more French than we are learning! Just had an e.mail from your Mam. They were to have come over here this weekend but now can't. Hope to see them next year. Pam's sister is planning a trip to China next August and has been trying to persuade her to go over too. It is raining here today after a glorious weekend. Anyway Emily take care and enjoy yourself.
A bientôt.
Pam et Alan

Ay up love! lol. hows things? i am super bored at the moment and i thought i would say hello. the alternative is an 800 word essay called 'a quoi promouvoir les journees sans achats?'
Very exciting.
Its reading week next week! and i have a job interview for the home office...oo-er! And bonfire night tonight too, i think we will be watching fireworks from the field outside tapton. people want to go to don valley for after dark...but naaaaaaah. too little money for that!
