Matthew's Drawing!
Matthew was asked in Chinese lesson to draw a round face, big ears, long body and legs! This is what he came up with! We found a few interesting things in Tesco at the weekend!! In the fish and meat section we found very large frogs and turtles! Not something we are used to seeing every day and I have to say they did not look very tasty!!!
But on the plus side, I found a great in port shop with lots of yummy treats. The price they cost, they will be a special treat!!
We went out for a lovely dinner on Friday night, nice not having to cook. It was a western food restaurant and they had some yummy food on offer! We met up with a couple of Andy's work friends and their partners. the boys enjoyed this place because the owner has built a huge train set in the middle of the downstairs floor. I think we may visit this place a few times!!
On Sunday, one of Andy's friends and partner took us to a few great shopping places in the next town in Tangu. One of the places we went to was an indoor market - it was on 3 levels. The bottom was a mixture of make up, Chinese pictures, materials, bracelets, bags etc. The
Tesco findings!
Turtles and frogs....... second level was clothes and the top was shoes. Each floor was the same size as Asda supermarket back in England. I thought of my cousin Lisa back in England when I saw all the shoes and bags!!!! I have never seen so many, she would be in heaven!!! I'm going to go back there next weekend and I will try and take a photo!!!
The air as been really bad the past few days, I cant remember what a blue sky looks like or the sunshine!!! The temp is getting a bit warmer though.
I am going to be busy this week, Matthew came home with a letter from school, next week they are celebrating Dr Seuss, the Cat In The Hat writer's birthday. They have lots of fun activities all week including a fashion cat walk show!!! Each child has to dress up as their fav. character from one of his books!! I wish our container was here now as all our art and craft bits are inside! So wish me luck, going back to market to see what I can find!
