The wise words of Lao Tsu

*This too will pass * When I let go of what I am, I become what I might be * When you realize that all things change, there is nothing you will try to hold on to * Being deeply loved by someone gives you strength, while loving someone deeply gives you courage

Christmas Parties



Christmas Eve was a hive of activity at school. Every class held their own Christmas Party celebration. The kids gave me invitations to attend and I'm glad I did :-) When I arrived I got a rock star welcome BUT it's not just me! When Sarah arrived she also got the same loud, warm welcome and then later when Nettie arrived, again huge cheers, clapping and attention. It seems they love their English teachers! Really makes you feel good.
Sarah brought one of her twins along and Nettie brought Carol. Kids here in China really seem to look after other kids very well. They all call each other younger or older sisters or brothers and seem to treat each other that way.

I had a great night even though I had to sing a Chinese song in each class party I went to. The kids get really excited when you speak or sing in Chinese. Infact the kids here just LOVE to sing and dance FULLSTOP.
