Nihao! It is Angie, serving as Cindy's secretary for the day. I must take a moment to brag because we heard the weather in Columbus is 94... Well here it is in the low 70s with the most amazing breeze. Somehow I think many of you will sign up to join us in the future based on that alone! This morning was the opening ceremony for camp. We walked into a room full of about a hundred Chinese students|, every one cuter than the next! Class one is full of the tiniest little kids-cant speak a lick of English but they sure are precious...I'm currently throwing out clothes so that I can make room to fit one in my suitcase. I'm sort of kidding. After the ceremony we headed over to the school where our classes are held. Remember this is the land of the stair. I trudged up four flights of stairs to my classroom. Keep in mind we are at very high elevation so we get winded in no time. I am just thinking of China as a stellar weight loss program! I met with my class for the first time and I could not be more excited. I have a bunch of giggling 15-18 year olds, plus a teaching assistant with the best jersey accent ever. From southerners to jersey girls, we are excited to hear what our students will pick up! My students seem awesome-im especially amused by my students names this year- I have a girl named Hello Kitty and a boy named RU2. China is such an interesting place! Well I am headed to lunch- the rumor is that we have the exact same meal for lunch and dinner every day for 1o days: eggs and tomatoes, veggies, rice, and questionable chicken chunks. Where's general tso's you need it?? Everyone is doing great! We will check back in soon!
