It's great having all your news Emma. It sounds like an amazing experience. You'll crack the behaviour problems soon I'm sure. Use your humour and they'll soon be eating out of your hand. Everyone here sends all good wishes. Pat Black wants to know the head's name as we did know of a head who went to set up a school in China. Love the photos reminds me of my trip. Take care and keep enjoying the experience and your crazy friends. Anitra

Hi Emma

Loving reading your news. Wow, how many exciting adventures can a girl have?? So funny, hearing about your palavas with George. He sounds like a liability and one to watch ha ha! Keep up the good play (sorry work!!)

Love Phyll xx

Hi Em! I am soooo jealous. It looks like you are having an amazing time!

Check you out being an amazing teacher. It must be so hard to teach with a language barrier although I guess you are picking up bits and pieces.

I enjoy reading the blog sat in my office at Duchy with it chucking it down outside and wishing I was there lol, so make sure you keep writing! =P

Dear lordy Emma - what a palaver with the lost keys and phone and the like!!! George sounds like the ideal companion for you :P

Get you with being an awesome teacher and spreading English teaching methods across the world! Very impressed!! I should think it's hard enough to teach in a different culture, let alone with the language barriers; and yet here you are being given extra lessons and gaining the favour of the principal only after a couple of weeks!! How do you do it!

In other news, it was Lara and Cara's birthday party at James' last night - we missed you! Lara's band played - they were really good - and we went to Louis today, yum yum yum.

Love Kathy xxxx

Thanks for sorting it out for me, Em - now I can adeptly field questions about what exactly it is you're doing out in China!! I am likewise avidly awaiting the next update - I'm reading them at work, to remind me that there are much more interesting places out there!

Miss you lots xxxx

Emma!!

Looks like you're having an amazing time! So jealous of you!

Sorry we couldn't catch up before you went away but will definitely have a lot to talk about when you get back!

Hopefully, I will have found something interesting to tell you about by then, although England is so boring compared to what you're doing!

Keep updating the blog, I love reading about your little adventures!

Lots of love, cousin Heather!xxx

Hello sugar pie!
Sounds like you are having a wonderful time and making lots of friends!

But your teaching schedule sounds quite full on, do you have to plan your lessons too?

And what are the children like? Apart from crying and watching you pee?!

My school food sounds quite similar, except we have bits of squid and shrimp pop up in our food all the time, and once a month we get mashed potato :-D. And I have all small international classes, and a lot of freedom in what I do, so it is a lot of fun!

I'm missing you like mad, and I think we should definitely start to plan a get together. Unfortunately I don't have a lot of time off, I have 2 weeks at christmas but the folks are coming over. I have songkran (thai new year) off in April, the whole of June and July next year.

Anyways, I am avidly waiting for the next update!

Lots of love,

Lizzie xxxx

Oh Emmeri - dramas! Hope all is sorted with your IT now, I'm guessing you could totally do without that. I am amused by your nights out - good to see that you are showing the Chinese what we English binge drinkers are like ;) School sounds really interesting - tell us more!!! How many hours do the kids have in class each day? And I don't quite understand about the international and the chinese classes - can you explain? Love you lots xxxx

Emma, I am insanely jealous of you! Beijing sounds incredible, if a little full on.

Please keep up with the blog - love hearing your news. Good luck planning out the rest of the year, and please don't disgrace yourself (and your country) again.

Now - when am I coming to see you!?

Love you, James X

Wow, what a surprise. Cornwall to China indeed!! Sounds like you are having a great time, and I'm so pleased for you. You soooo deserve it!

Keep us posted on how you are doing. Continue to have a great time. I will let Duchy people know how you are doing, as not sure who is on your mailing list.

Take care and lots of luv - Phyll xx

I like your blog and photos Emma. So glad you're having such a wonderful time...what an experience for you! i'll keep checking to see how you're getting on. Lots of love, auntie Elaine xxx
