my beatifull dream

在年轻的时候，如果你爱上了一个人，请你，请你一定要温柔地对待他。不管你们相爱的时间有多长或多短，若你们能始终温柔地相待，那么，所有的时刻都将是一种无瑕的美丽。若不得不分离，也要好好地说声再见，也要在心里存着感谢，感谢他给了你一份记忆。长大了以后，你才会知道，在蓦然回首的刹那，没有怨恨的青春才会了无遗憾，如山冈上那轮静静的满月。

We were able to adopt him legally and are finished with the paperwork in the province. Apparently our guide did the services for the adoption of Meg Ryan's daughter. Her adoption took 3 days. Ours took 2 days. Apparently he was just amazed that we could beat her. I really have no idea why we...

Gotcha Day

It was amazing. The last few days have been a whirlwind. We only found out we could get him yesterday and then this morning we got him at 9:30am. He's a sweetie and a ham! When I started this blog I wasn't sure if it was a good idea. I mean, what input did he have in us telling his story? Well...

Island sightseeing

Lets just say we saw something mind-blowingly cool. After my months of coal trucks and living by the stack in Harbin, I'm all for this. Even Teenager thought is was cool. We didn't have to teach in the afternoon so we could see the sight. We are officially halfway thru the teaching...

English camp

There is something in the air and it seems like things are turning crazy. Someone in Chris's class ran away last night. He was caught. Then in my class, the little guys have been fighting.Not just a little shove here and there. A full throw down with punches that you can hear go thunk. These...

Day 2 teaching

My biggest frustration with the for-profit education scheme is the cheapness when it comes to supplies. In Dalian, I was issued 2 dry erase pens for the whole summer of teaching. They lasted about 3 days because they were old pens from the last teacher. Now this summer, I have blackboards. I...

first day of teaching & trip to town

The first day of teaching went ok. I started with 17 students, but had 20 by the end of the day. The classroom is not air conditioned, but has ceiling fans. My book is ok, but not enough activities to last 4. I brought Bingo and old maid and some menus to keep them busy. Bingo was a hit, but Old...

Waking up to birds

Today we woke up to birds!!! It was so pleasant. After weeks of the coal trucks, then the night on the train, then the hotel on the Beijing runway, we had good nights sleep. We have been in the urban jungle for so long, that we were so happy to hear the birds at 6am. It wasn't the full chorus...
