Everybody was Kung Fu Fighting..

We have Kung Fu class on monday nights and our instructor and his little side-kick are pretty much hilarious.. and they have mad Kung Fu skills. (unlike me) Yesterday they video-d us doing the routine we've been learning and I think I ruined the recording because I kept messing up. Oops.

Muslim Noodles

A short walk from one of the main bus stops there is this AMAZING muslim noodle place where they make the noodles right on the street. We went there this past weekend and I will definitely be frequenting it in the next month. 

P.S.- I also cut Natalie's bangs this weekend. Thats a funny story in and of itself. 

Locked Out:/

We got locked out of our room so we took off the vents into the bathroom and made shelby had to climb in through the hole in the wall. hahahaha.

Morning Exercise Performance

One day they took the kids out of our class early, put make up on them (yes, even the boys) and they performed their morning exercises outside for their parents. It was really cute.

Updates..

I haven't updated in a while so here is the low down. I come home in a month!

My mom left about a week and a half ago and went to Singapore and Cambodia. I think she goes home in a few days. It was so fun to have her here! I miss her already! I'll post some pictures from her visit and from Halloween. I was a make-shift cleopatra. 

Last week Mary (our coordinator) came to me and told me that the director of the kindergarten wanted to learn more english so she wanted to teach someone chinese in order to do so. She asked if I wanted to take one-on-one lessons so I set up times with the director and two nights ago I went for my first "lesson." Well it turned out to be really funny- not really a chinese or english lesson but more of us just trying to have a conversation about random things for an hour and a half since neither of us could speak each others language. We kept having to type things into her online translator. Haha. It was actually kind of fun though. 

Last weekend we slept on the roof and it was freezing. It's actually been really cooling off here lately which is nice. Anyhow, I've been sick ever since but I think it was worth it. It was so fun.

Brekka, our head teacher left two days ago to go home for a funeral so she's gone for good. :( Its weird not having her here. Another girl left too because her grandma is really sick. 

Anyhow- teaching is going good- I've been having fun with the kids lately and I'm really going to miss some of them! 

So yeah, two weeks until Thanksgiving and our vacation and after that, two weeks until I come home!
