The Xi'dian Experimental Primary School

---

The school that I work with is so welcoming! I get about 70 "hallo teacha!"s everytime I walk through the halls. It's a primary school, grades 1-6. I teach about four classes a day. Something very different about schools in China are the lunch breaks. At my school the kids get two hours to eat, play, and sleep. There's even a whole other building attached to the canteen with a bunch of beds for the kids.

The boys play a game where they hold one of their legs up and hop around and run into each other until there's only one left standing

The principal's office
Best place to take a nap is the couch in her office. It's significantly softer than the beds in the volunteer house

The Canteen
The chef smokes cigarettes in the kitchen and saws through metal right next to where we eat.
