Hey Lauren

I am quite ok for my part,except that I have a fucking headache due to my night's out..Went to a real rhum bar with ladies of my class+ an american one..Fun night!!
Nothing really new except that,next week I am gona send my applications to oil companies in Aberdeen and in Norway...will see what happen,but I have already booked a seat at Paul's dinner table,and I bet u guess to whom I wana be seated near by;)(woow is that correct english...tsss rhum,hangover and english are not a good deal for me:)
ok,time for me to wake up
take care,kram and hope to cya
The LP effect The LP effect is evident. For conformation look no further than the Chinese youngster on your left. He certainly appears to be extatic that you came to visit. Although, when people start taking their clothes off for you in extreme temperatures you know you've nailed it. The Lp Chinese fan club: outstanding work! Stands you in good stead for when you begin actively pursuing your stand up career avec ta jumelle Julia! Mais fait gaffe! Il n'y a que deux sparrows dans ce monde! Love it, keep them coming! Miss ya laids, bisou
Well Miss Lauren, why am i not surprised that you were a raving success before you had even got there! Your welcome was so amazing, loved all the photos and i'm so pleased that your are loving the experience even if the toilets are awful and you did have an audience...and i think i would be pretty pleased if you were the first foreigner i had ever seen!!looking forward to more photos..Love Lucy xx
Well Jules, I have to echo your comments. Did you get to keep the banner Loz? I want one! I'm looking after Johan don't you worry although he did insist on putting David Hasselhoff on my MP3 Player, quality stuff. P.S. think I saw my cousin in that last photo! lots of love, Valxxxxxxxxxx
Hilarious Sweet lord, lauren paton, international celebrity, what a priviledge it is to know you, i actually could hardly breathe when i read that and saw the accompanying photo! I'm half expecting you to be detained in the country to run for president or something, provided you dont starve due to sheer lack of fast food that is, so cute and sweet, more photos please! love juls xxxxxx
you make me laugh! LP,
£5 must go far in China! You can get fireworks, banners and 800 children along to make you look popular! I wonder what you can get for a tenner??
Joking aside, here's a little insider to help teach or give advice. Pictures are best for basics...as most people remember things through association.
Making the material memorable(through a demonstration)...so instead of just repeating the information on the page do something to significant to aid retention.
Get the child involved in learning. Experiments in Science: The outcome will be remembered better having completed it themselves rather than reading it or watching the teacher do it. I find testing them is useful too.
Thats just a little i know from my course. I hope it's helpful.
Sitting in George Sq library with 3 weeks till my finals. Strugglin big style but not long till i finish.
Take care.

From Glasgow to Gung Hei Fak Choi Greetings to the first foreigner. Love the pics. Must be so exciting. As I sit here typing this from good ol' blustery Edinburgh, I cant help but feel pangs of jealousy. Keep us updated and good luck with it all!! Oh, Gung Hei Fak Choi is happy new year in Cantonese. xx cash.
LP the new J-Lo! It's quite funny as the Prime minister of China is getting bad press whilst visiting the UK, and it seems as you have taken over telly ratings - LP for President. Your stories of grinding some big Cameroonian infront of hundreds of primary school kids and on LIVE telly, paints a hilarious picture as my imagination runs wild! haha...
your experience of kids spitting on the floor of the classroom rings bells of a time on teaching placement in bishopbriggs...as my class of 3rd year neds would come in and spit while playing 5-a-sides in the gym hall. But one of the boys, big Malky got it good, when he slipped and hit the deck with a scud! Whether it was sweat or spit, any chance to see those arrogant w**k*rs make fools of themsleves gave me pleasure. But i never experienced them cleaning my shoes with their tongues despite the fact it would be a major satisfaction!
You say that you cant think of anything more humiliating but i'm sure i can think of one or two other instances to top a little bump and grind in China! but not quite suitable for everyone else to read!
I sympathise with the smog and pollution thing..but think of that in 30 degrees and 90% humidity in a city like Singapore or KL. It's just rank! But when you get a chance to take a photo of you in you pink thermal combo, send us a copy!
However, great to hear you are having fun and you've got lots of nice friends. The photos show that despite having to eat Michael-Angelo, Donatello, Leonardo, Raphael and friends every day, you havent lost your appetite. Which is great to hear. I bet you it makes aeroplane food look like Michelin 3 star!
Take care beautiful,
Lots of Love,
Allyxxxx
dumplings with eminem where is the picture of this rapper??As you know I don't really need to write again so soon having written last night but the business man in me demands that I respond by return.Get me a video though from the TV station of your dance,meanwhile I will try to send you my most recent "Jagger" carried out at the Cannes Duty Free Exhibition where,again,drink was involved,although it was only 5.30 pm
Be good...no,be better
Love
Fred
white hunter returns HI lauren
Just back from Cape Town and have read your first missive.
As your Godfather am disappointed that you seem to be as worldly as you are....but then I remember back to your age..
Any way this is just a qick note to see if my wifi is up to a response over there'or if I am atotal incompetent (at least with computers).
Totally impressed with your attitude when confronted with adversity!!
Love
Fred
Good lord! Hey LP...
Good to hear your chat. All sounds mighty interesting out there and eventful - turtle soup sounding particularly delicious!
Look after yourself youngster.

Turtle testicles aw duude, so lovely to hear your gecko trails already. I always forget how much happens in one day when your overseas. know that your probably feeling a little overwhemled right now, lonely and hormonal but stick in there, it will pass. i promise. Write in your book, reflect and enjoy...
