Three Little Pigs That guy with the sticks! I always wondered where the second little pig bought a bundle of sticks. Now I know! And he looks like such a happy man!
that is so funny, i had a dream last night that the same exact sequence of events occurred to me, well that is not exactly true, somewhere between the fish banging and dinner in the night market, i managed to nail a ukrainian supermodel. huh, maybe that was during english corner. why she came to china to learn english, i haven't a clue. oh, and i milked a yak. weird.
a) who taught that guy how to kill a fish?? banging it against the wall??? I'm surprised he didn't just try and step on it! b) your picture of the caged chicken pecking at the fish is sad. I hope you didn't eat him later. In fact, I hope you freed him and then gave him a ride back to wherever chinese chickens come from.
Caves Did you learn the word for stalagtites and stalagmites in Chinese? I hope they have a trick to remember the words like in English (Stalag-tites have to hold "tight" so they don't fall down. I'm so smart.)
Spell! Carrie, a level 13 spell?! Wow. When you left the States, you could only do a level 9 spell. China has taught you well. Those fireworks really do sound like war- I would hide under my bed until it was over.
WOW Amazing chair thing!! Learn those moves and then you'll impress all your friends. Or at least, learn those moves, teach me, and I'll impress all my friends. ...and, would you mind stuffing one of those bean bags into your carry-on for me? I think it's bigger than my bed.
Best teacher ever Carrie, your students must love you! On the board, your writing goes up as you write- that's supposed to mean your optimistic. And it sort of looks like you're writing them an essay. Or maybe you're just describing how cool all of your American friends are- because that could take awhile!
Happy Thanksgiving! Yay for your updates! Enjoy your Thanksgiving! (Take a moment of gratitude before you feast on those roasted bugs- or maybe you're still trying to eat the giant grapefruit?!)
;o) Budding Picassos Love the original art work Carrie. Your friends are crazy wonderful! The box of goodies must have made your week! Hope the evaluation went well and that you too are doing ok. Miss ya, lady! Take care- b
yupyup So glad you liked the package! It didn't have cheese.. but it did have New England leaves. And it didn't have peanut butter... but it did have silly putty. And everyone knows that Carrie's favorite stuff is food- but we replaced that with goofy stuff. And all that goofy stuff was packed with love. I'm sure Chinese peeps who okayed the package's contents were REALLY jealous.
I must say...seeing that you featured the portrait I drew of you COULD be one of my prouder moments. A) Is prouder a word? B) What does that say about my lifetime achievements??
Eat or Die Carrie, admit it: Everyone was going to die if they didn't get something to eat because you would have killed everyone for not letting you eat. Isn't that right Miss Carrie Baron??!
That luxery ride looks amazing. Why don't we have those in the US? Because Americans are all so heavy?
Carrie- you have to try the chicken buses in Guatemala. They are old school buses painted red, white, blue and yellow but packed like sardines. The drivers like to play chicken which must have something to do with their name.
Brides Maybe the creepiness of dead animals started the rumor that Chuck Norris was in town...(Chuck Norris doesn't care if something is cute and fuzzy). So even though he wasn't really around, women dressed up in bridegowns hoping to attract him.
chuck norris must have been in town, that's the only thing i think of that explains all the brides. actually no, that doesn't make sense cause if chuck norris were in town gathering brides, then of course, you too would have succumbed to the unbearably painful charm of a roundhouse kick demonstration. huh...curious.
Maple syrup I hope you're having a fantastic time on your vacation. I can't read the picture's full caption- what did the students say when they tasted maple syrup?
You got talent! You won good food by singing?! That's the greatest prize ever! You look so happy getting your facial. If you get back to the states and you miss getting facials and massages, I can help lessen your nostalgia by letting you give me one.

Moo! Do the Chinese like to make sounds at cows like us, Americans?
