Hotpot is for the gatherings or masses.

My Stomach:. No it's not.
Me: yes it is.

My Stomach: go down stairs, walk eight steps, turn left, walk one step.

10.09.2018 - 10.09.2018

O k , I've had many friends ask, where have you taught before... So here it is:

1st: Tianyang town in Guangxi Province. Tiny rural farming town. I loved it so much.. 2 years.

2nd: Baiyin city in Gansu Province. Hmmmmmnnnn! Loved the school but being a bike rider... No grass , no trees is no me. 6 months.

3rd: Shaowu town in Fujian Province. My most favourite place in China. 40 minutes by bus from Wuyishan. My god! And riding in the farming lands, five minutes from my home! 1.5 years

4th: Shangluo town in the Qing Ling Mountains in Shaanxi Province. An awesome tiny Mountain town. 2years.

5th: Hanzhong city in Shaanxi Province. Disliked the school, the leaders which made me dislike the city. 6months.

10th: Ningbo city, Zhejiang Province. Love the city, but not my thing. Far too big. I stayed because it is my most favourite school in all of my time in China. AMAZINGLY OUTSTANDING!

11th:. Huai'An city, Jiangsu Province. I returned because I live this little city so much. I'm teaching in the most wonderful kindergarten and I am extremely happy.

The Playground is my Workplace

09.09.2018 - 09.09.2018

The playground is my workplace!

Believe it or not, after school most students and parents and friends remain on the school grounds for the next hour or two.

Between the schools front gate and the school buildings lays a huge giant playground where the students play and the families and friends lay down picnic blankets and relax with snacks.

We have our own train, plane and ferris wheel!
We have little houses everywhere, a hidden valley where the children slide and climb. We have a pirate ship and many 'climby and skids things everywhere.

And guess who gets to do playtime duty.
Um .. fun each a afternoon?
That would be MEEEEEEE!
