So last week was children's day, which is a day in China especially for the children (as the name cleverly suggests). There was a morning of shows including one by each grade's English 'VIP' students. I teach the grade 1 VIPs, so they performed the song I'd taught them 'I'm a little teapot' in front of the whole school. They were so cute in their little teapot hats that I prepared the day before, I was beaming with pride!!
This week we're teaching 7 days again because next week is the Dragon Boat Festival and we have three days off school. We've decided to visit the next province over, Hunan, and go to a city called Zhangjiajie. If you've seen the film Avatar, this might look a tad familiar......
That's Zhangjiajie , the place the film was inspired by. B-e-a-utiful! Anyone who knows me at all will be able to tell you I'm not exactly a keen hiker, but I'm excited to see a different side of China that isn't filled with skyscrapers and is slightly more beautiful. First just to get these awful 7 days over with.... and survive another night on the sleeper train...
