Oh, and thanks Duncs n joe- Chinese New Year's on 29th Jan. And Happy Chinese New Year to you to when it comes! And yes Claire- the kids are even more giggly than us! x

Glennie, that is actually a genious idea!! I'm running outa ideas fast!! O.K- can you all please please help me. I teach the classes for 2 hours straight. Their English is OK- ie most of them can string a broken sentence together.We're concentrating on speech and activities- so I wana do like physical activity stuff that involves English. Any ideas?! I've only really got academic classroom stuff to give them, which is so boring and we're allowed to play about with them with activities- I just need to think of some! So can everyone please rack their brains and get back to me asap- gota fill a 2 hour slot. Would mejorly appreciate the help!

Wow those kids are so dedicated! We really are so lucky here. I bet by the time you get back here you'll be functioning on next to no sleep aswell!
Glad you seem to be having such a great time! I enjoy reading what youve been up to over there so keep on updating! Have fun!
P.S Loving the pig thing!

Hello. I see the scenary is still amazing. Nice going with the teaching apart from the fact that you don't get any sleep...but hey you can sleep in 7 months time :-). Anti-tan wow that is quite interestly weird :S. Your right about the fact a lot of us takes the U.K. for granted and these children will do anything to come here their dedication sounds amazing. Anywho take care missy and try and get at least one long lie in each week...if you can.
Keep sending those amazing photos
