Life going on

So my school took me and 20 teachers to escort about 300 children to a theme park on thursday...all out insanity. although the kids really enjoyed themselves. It was pretty insane though, i can't imagine doing that in the states...too many kids running rampant and possible lawsuits. It was great to get to know more teachers around the school though. Rode a bunch of rollercoasters with them to prove I wasn't scared...and they all grabbed on to me for safety...psh, act like they're so tough...

It was intersting getting to spend some time with teachers outside of school though...learned some are buddhist and pretty much none are from Shenzhen. They all come from all over China and have pretty cool stories. One teacher spent a year in England and thus "knows how to drink like wetserners" according to her. And the PE teachers, I have found, can really keep up with our American drinking styles...haha. At least better than most of the lightweight Chinese.

I have befriended a bunch of people that work on the island by my apartment now. They all work at a bar that I frequent, but they say they don't like it when I drink there because they think it's too expensive and feel they must treat me to beer, not let me pay...so, we often go to the beach and hang out, go climbing together before they have work. It's a little tough with such different schedules but it's pretty entertaining...most of them have promised ot take me back to their hometowns with them too which is exciting...meet their families and all...

anyway, that's most the update for now...more to come...
