Hi everyone. Things are going well here. I’m really starting to feel settled in and getting somewhat of a routine figured out. Teaching has gone well so far, so I’m thankful for that. The only problem I’ve had so far is when a Chinese chemistry teacher showed up to a class at the same time and said that he was supposed to be teaching at that time. I tried to reach my boss to see what was going on, but I couldn’t. I figured since the other teacher was Chinese, he was probably right so I left the classroom. Turns out, I was! We made up the class the next day.
I also got my haircut a few days ago. Getting your haircut here is a pretty big deal. They washed my hair twice and gave me a little head massage before cutting my hair. My hair was then washed once more before I was finally done! It was interesting to say the least, especially since I had no way of telling the guy how I wanted it cut. He did a pretty good job guessing though. All that for $5!
Last Friday night was the 6th anniversary party for Mr. Mai’s coffee shop. Myself and 4 other American guys dressed up as girls and danced to “Girls Just Wanna Have Fun.” I think the Chinese enjoyed seeing us embarrass ourselves!
Other than that, nothing new has happened. I’m excited for opportunities we’ll have to talk with our students as well as others around the area.
FYI, I can’t currently get on facebook or my blogging site. I’m hoping to get that figured out again soon. We’ll see though!
Sounds like quite a performance and quite the haircut! I wonder if with the 60th anniversary of the country coming up Oct. 1 if they're censoring the internet a lot more, making it difficult to access your sites. Peace, Becca Carpenter
