Photos not in order — WP is being weird.
During the Welcome Dinner for all new and returning teachers. Left, trying to lean out of frame, is Sebastien, from France. To the right is Jasmine (English, but lived in Greece all her life), and Cindy, from Bond Educational and Cultural Institute (our employer).
The welcome dinner was held at a Korean BBQ restaurant (yes, we’re in China. So?) You choose your meat and veggies (buffet style), then cook everything yourself on a grill in the middle of your table.
Scrumptious.
Oh yeah. Swedish chef time — Pork pork pork. More pork. SO MANY DIFFERENT KINDS OF PORK.
Left, front: my roommate Joe, from England, behind him is Candy, and on the right is Gemma, from Australia.
YES, my roommate is a very young man. His first words on meeting me after my 12-hour flight were: “Would you like a cup of tea?”
A ram in the mall where the Korean restaurant was. Random fluffy animals everywhere.
My friend Claire, from South Africa. She’s into cosplay.
Back at the Welcome Dinner. It was my birthday.
So we had cake.
Dessert at the dinner. These are mochi.
My grade 5 class. There are 50 of them. I’m starting to adjust. :0
Happy Teacher’s Day! I got a bouquet of Ferrero Rocher “flowers”.
Interesting hand lotions available here. ??
