who says no one else sends you messages? So who's this Chinese man Amanda? He's cute and standing awfully close to him. You have some 'splaining to do!!! :)
wearing white Well, if you had worn black, you may have fit it, but white? I hope it was before labor day! There are all these characters under everyone's name except yours!... Kinda like the year book where everyone else was in glee club, soccer, math club, etc and you just showed up so there was nothing to list for activities! Nice smile though!
I never used the wooden spoon I am here to defend myself. I never used the spoon, only held it up in the air! It did work evertime! You had better be careful. You will loose your star status with the students!
Good Pictures Thanks for the pictures. It is good to know that you still need me! I am sure that you were able to find how to pack everything without me tho. Miss you lots! love, mom
You're so Funny Mandy, your stories crack me up. What a great experience! If nothing else you are getting a chance to do some creative writing. Sorry if this message is a repeat. I was trying to write earlier but accidently did somehting to make this screen disappear so maybe I accidently pushed 'send' or something...
Thanks for keeping us informed of everything. Sorry I can't think of anything cute to say right now - I'm at work (and it's not nap time).
Love ya

What is wrong with blood? I really don't see the problem with blood, after all it was cooked, it increases your red blood count and gives you energy! Remember, you wanted to go to Africa. They drink the blood straight from the cows that are alive (remember National Geographic?). Please send a picture when you get your uniform! You did tell me that all the pictures where of Chris and Sara life events. I think this will qualify and I will be sure to hang this picture out for all to admire! Remember the tall kids get the back row, so it won't be too bad! Hey, challenge them to a game of basketball! That should show them who is in charge!
Your stories are wonderful!!! Have you thought about being a writer, your stories have brought much happiness to me face. So enjoyed our family visit. God Bless!!!
Fried Duck Toungue Hi Amanda!!! So great to hear from you!!! Very exciting (hence all of the exclamation points) Okay so here are some rules to follow when in China:
1) Stay hydrated
2) Try a new dish once every 2 weeks. For example Fried Duck Tongue. You can usually find them at the bars (they are like a peanut substitute at our bars). Start easy and get more and more risque. Remember, you've already had the runs for 24 hours so the bugger must be out of your system or happy to be living in you now. Think of it as your G.I. (gastrointestinal) protector while you are in China. You do realize you will have the same issue when you come back to the states right?
3. Buy a new outfit once every week. What does it cost, $3 maybe?
4. Learn to cook authentic chinese. What are the seasonings they use, basic techniques, basic cooking times, etc. Ever think of having the fish soup? See rule 2.
5. Stop eating the damn carrots and people will stop staring at you. You look like a really tall and skinny umpa-lumpa and they are confused. First they don't know what the hell an umpa-lumpa is and second orange is not a normal human color.
6. Have fun and write lots!
Be well!
How cool I hope you are having lots of FUN!! I am very excited for you! Keep the messages going...can I tell some of the GVA kids about this site so they can check and see what you are up to?
