Class 3A were legends yesterday- way more fun to teach than 1A- the boys are highly amusing. There's one Chinese guy with very similar humour to Roddy's- cracks me up. Although, sadly there was an injury during the sack race. There was a near fatal fall in the boys team, resulting in a sprained ankle- but the rest of the team ran to his rescue, providing bags of ice from the cafeteria and a bit of over dramatisation.

Apart from the fact I'll get a half decent meal, also can't wait to show them around KK and introduce them to everyone.

Unfortunately they were all knackered from climbing the mountain and doing various thin...
