Anna's China Trip

Thursday, 18 September 2008

Hey everyone!

Yeah, I know, I know, I’m a hopeless case. It’s just been soo incredibly busy during the summer months that I have completely ignored my blog.
These past two months have been a blur. So many classes, so many kids.
And of course after work…soooo many parties to go to! :)
Things have started to calm down a bit again so I will keep my blog updated regularly…promised!!
We have been on daytrips with the school, to an aquarium about an hour’s drive from Wenzhou, fencing lessons, golfing trip.
My friend Natasha had her bachelorette party here and has since left for South Africa to get married. Miss you, babes!!
I’ve been away for the weekend to a little town Fenghua just under Ningbo (on the map somewhere under Shanghai). The trip was exciting with three little kids in the car, but very enjoyable all in all :) My hosts have a furniture business and all their furniture is handcrafted. All the wooden items in their villa are either specially handcrafted for the house, or family heirlooms. Some items are more than 500 years old. I’d like to see Ikea beat that record!
Ofcourse, the Olympics have come and gone. The excitement was huge here. We had a party for the opening and watch the ceremony on a big screen in the Blueshell Bar.
On Wednesday September 11th they celebrated Teacher’s Day here in China. Of course that was only one more reason to go party!

That’s it for now, I will let the pictures do the talking :) Till next time :)
