Rachel in China

This week has been pretty slow so far, so I thought I would take this opportunity to introduce you to my arch enemy.

He may look innocent... but this child is my nemesis.

Whoever said Chinese children are obedient and well behaved has obviously never met this guy. He always ruins my games and distracts everyone else. For example, the other day I was writing on the board with my back to the class for one second, turned round and he has his trousers down... they never taught us how to deal with that kind of scenario in TEFL training. Another day I handed out some bits of paper for an activity, by the time I had got round the class he had eaten his paper. I don't know his name so for now I just call him 'chubbsy' (not to his face...yet).

Aside from that as I said everything has been quite quiet, we are all looking forward to our next holiday so that we can explore a bit more of China and go to visit Hainan island - 'the hawaii of China' (hopefully). Also discovered our local temple this weekend, which was beautiful and surrounded by some really pretty parks, so we will definitely be spending a lot of time there when it gets too hot to do anything else.

Anyway my dear mother has complained that I don't put enough photos on my blog so here are a select few from the weekend...
