Sorry for the delay

It's the end of the year and things are quickly wrapping up. with only three weeks left at the primary school I am getting ready for those dreaded open classes. makeing the really annoying powerpoints and making sure all the students can sing and chant for the parents. While for my middle schoolers i am busy grading papers and getting grades ready.

I am also trying to plan a trip to Tibet which i am so excited about. But who knew that traveling could be so confusing. I personally hate visa's.

I am also studying Chinese hardcore I have moved past the alphabet and so its actually interesting now.

Its getting hot.

I think the first sign of spring in Beijing is not flowers but old men playing chess.

it is always good to have a friend. especially in English class. I can't separate these two becasue the smaller friend sits there and translates.

I am so amazed at some of these children. He is from Korea. He does not speak Chinese and here he is in my English class. He so smart. I love the way all the students really try and help me.
