mandykaye: recent happenings

We got to go on a field trip with the school to Sun Yat Sen Park!

it was a cute little trip just to have a picnic and see the park

I fell in love with one of my students, Peter, that day. Hes the smartest 3 year old, and was making me laugh the whole time. he was singing and asking me tons of questions on the bus.

uhdoruhbull.

Heres some pictures from Sun Yat Sen

after we sent the kids back to the school we got to play and shop around :) we found a store that had costumes.. sooooo we got in the halloween spirit!

we voted anna should be .. uh, scary clown?

this would make my kids cry

long day in china = you can sleep wherever and ON whoever you want. thankyou bus

aaaaaannnnddddd this is how bad we miss american food. well, i guess variety of food.
one of the girls got a pizza kit in her package, we were SO exciiiiteeeeddd! so we invited freda over and made her these..pizzas? ok.. china doesnt have ovens, so this is the best we could do with a microwave.
they look pretty ick but they actually were delicious.

freda hated it

of COURSE we hung out with our chinese friends

we took a weekend trip to visit our friends (another ilp group) in xioulan

it was fun to see their town and hang out and have a big sleepover

i honestly think some of the funniest times have been in taxis, motorcycles, or bike taxis. for some reason they just always show us a good time...

this guy tried to drop us off at some deserted road----3 separate times.

this portion of the blog should be titled

CHICKEN FEET

we were taken out to KTV (karaoke) by one of our students parents. and some others from our school came too. not gonna lie... the dad was pretty creepy after a few drinks. but we had a good time

aaaand I DID IT. i tried chicken feet. it was the nastiest, most disgusting thing iv ever done. id rather eat a spider than even smell a chicken foot again. seriously, no idea why anna and i so willingly tried it suddenly.

too much watching 'How I Met Your Mother'
