Pros and Cons

There are many ups and downs to the Chinas...

a small sampling of the things i like and don't like at the same time:

Cons

1. it's raining now...
2. squat toilet in my apartment, yeah.
3. really oily cafeteria food, coming from what part of the animal? 
4. my cheap ass will not turn down free food from the cafeteria, at least for now... 
5. things often break here, a lot. 
6. the students are a little crazy, foreign teacher to them = run wild time!
   

Pros

1. when it rains it pours! (None of that non-committal drizzle crap from Seattle!)   
2. i will develop strong thighs... 
3. appreciating grilled chicken more and more
4. food at the cafeteria is free  
5. someone will come to fix it 
6. the students seem to like me

proofs in the pudding:

 

Sept. 10th is teacher's day in China.

here's a card from a Primary 5 student and some

flowers, so cute!
