Summer is here... we have a month or less left of school. We can't seem to get a "for sure" date from anyone. What we DO know is that we will be teaching a summer English school here at Yongxing. It will be from June 10-25th... no days off. BUT, the good thing is that we will have no morning classes... just afternoon stuff for a couple hours a day. It'll make us a wee bit o'money, and let us get to know some more kids. Why not, eh? Apparently there will also be 4 canadians and an american coming to teach with us. So... the 6 of us already here, plus 5... 11 foreign teachers! Unheard of here. :)
We're learning more about it this afternoon. Beyond that, who knows. We are both procrastinators... we want to see Beijing at some point this summer. We'd also like to go out west, into the more undeveloped, deserty-ness of China. There are lots of trains that go out that way. We'll see... we want to find out when we can go, how much money we'll have, etc. We can also get into most countries around us (Thailand, Singapore, Cambodia, the Phillipines, etc) without a visa if we are there 15 days or less... so maybe we'll add another country or two to our "where we've been" map. One thing I do know is that we'll be online much less frequently.
It's been a good week. Not much goin' on... our internet at home is on the fritz. We got to talk to the Matthew's parents on Skype yesterday. That was fabulous! It was great to see familiar faces on the webcam and get to talk to them. Love you guys! I hope more of our family can get some webcams and chat with us!
Anyway, I never thought I'd say this... but there's nothing interesting to report. We're alive, we're a little cooler (the weather's been cooler and rainier this week) and dragging a bit. I think it's just the hot summer blahs. Nothing like a fantastic watermelon to cure that! We bought one yesterday for 5 rmb... can't beat that!
