you are welcome Katrina I really enjoy the pictures and your comments. Do you have a phone number as well? Can we Skype? Take care and if it makes you feel any better the weather here in San Diego sucks.
love you!
a limerick Long ago, my mother would faint,
If I ever uttered an “ain’t.”
Every error was felled
As the rules she upheld,
But today that position is quaint
Mija! wassup? Interesting read. Super cool - I like. Especially enjoyed the lack of 'th' and additions of 'uh'. You certainly have your work cut out for you. Do they have trouble with the tenses?
geese a gaggle of geese being grounded of course
when they are in the air, they are no longer a gaggle, they are a skein of geese
hows that for more idiosyncratic idiocies of English!
traffic being stuck in traffic is aggravating at best, but then trying to speed it us when you see the problem is maddening when others won't or can't listen to reason and just don't get it
wow, a challenge to say the least, but i know that you can do it, one syllable at a time, when you hear that th, you will zen know that you are making progress
Feel better A friend of your parents from Brussels... It is so exciting to hear that you are in China. I am sure right now as you don't feel so good, you probably wish you were back in the US where comfortable beds abound ;-) I really hope you feel better soon so you can enjoy your time there. Do as your Mom says and register with the nearest Consulate. We need to keep good track of you! A big hug from Costa Rica.
Ahhhh choo. Ugh, sorry you aren't feeling well. :-( Yes, ginger is good for you. You have to eat food to keep your immune system up. Take good care of yourself. Is everyone else at the school Chinese? How's your Chinese coming along? I bet you get a lot of chances to practice it.
So how do you have a computer there? Do you have Internet access now? Let me know, and let me know what phone number you have so that I can call you. Also, you need to register with the nearest U.S. consulate so you can get warden messages.
Let me know how you're doing please! love you, mom
Greetings Sound like a good considerate group of people to work with.
The experience and the stories are priceless and last a lifetime!!
The only thing with the Viagra is - what are you really buying - ya it's blue, but what is it?
Enjoy

Greetings Hey, the place looks good!
How's the food?
Do the students end up teaching you more than you teach them?
It looks like a great experience - make good memories!
China's been on my list to visit/work since college, but haven't made it there yet - hey, but there's tomorrow!! I'll ask the boss.
Enjoy and stay in touch.

Hi Katrina,
Hope you feel better very soon. Please know that all who love you are thinking of you. Be sure to take time to enjoy the little things as you go through all the new experiences. Take lots of pictures because memory can be short. It will be such fun to revisit the experiences later. Love, Sue
Krazy Katrina Hi sweetheart , Why in the world did you end up in China when you have a significant other who is such a great guy, here? I could understand if you had no ties, but do you think your relationship with Dillon will survive? It seems that your wanderlust may get in the way of a permanent place in some man's heart. Of course, I know you can take care of yourself but I worry about your love life. I hope he is supportive of your choice of leaving him for 6 months. I think its a great thing to follow your heart, when no one gets hurt. I'm curious about what your mom said, Love, GrandMarge. Hope you are well by now and that you enjoy working there.
neato! this is pretty sweet, i kinda did something like this. i'm keeping a journal since i left the island, and i have lots of pics and such (i bought me a camera!)
Thanks Dad- I'm drinking hot water. I don't have any tea, and I don't know that it would sit well right now.
Carey- Thanks, I hope I feel better soon too! lol
I hope you feel better --if its any consolation Chuckie texted me yesterday that he was sick... Nice thing though is once its out of your system you are good to go. hugs
deja vu looks a lot like parts of Guangzhou
did you tell your co workers you used to live in Guangzhou?
What did they think? It nice to have that experience, yea?
mini your apartment is cute and cozy, and much as i had imagined.
i told garadmarge and grandpa about your adventure today.
they were excited and a little apprehensive too, but happy for you.
you have some friends there now?
This isn't JUST about China, but the bulk of it will be. I've travelled a bit, taken a few pictures, but I lost my heart in China.
Belgium has amazing chocolate and beer.
Bogota has the best steak I've ever had.
Spain has some delicious tapas.
Portugal has some of the most beautiful venues.
Germany has gorgeous architecture.
Amsterdam has... well... a red light district where I was propositioned, and a lot of weed I didn't smoke.
But China... has stolen my heart with its culture, its language, its people and, of course, its food. ... full info
