Good morning all,
Hope the weekend was good guys! Bill you freaking Legend mate! You won??? Thats extreme take that michael, you would dominate him in a street fight! What partying did you do Charlie? End up getting to go to Ak's?
So China is still fabby. Time runs into itself a bit seeing as we schooled it all weekend. Went to a school to observe yesterday which was pretty fun they were about 11 and learning about the legend of Marathon, saying things like repeat after me... Spartans. It was intense, the kids were cool though and am looking forward to teaching.
Case and I woke up early this morning and went to the bakery for some nummy carbs! Im eating a loaf of brown bread (white is sugary) and a coke. My kind of life! Tomorrow we have a day of and we are going hiking in the mountains. Then to a zoo or theme park I think. Tonight we may have to get a tad bit party because the scot Declan is turning 18 in about a week or two!
The other New Zealander came last night and is pretty insanely fun. But they do bread them rough in Ashburton! My roomie Sarah is sick today thus why Im here so early... not so pleasant to share a room with a sicky! But other than that everything is just spiffing
I don't know about pics yet... prob not til I get my lappy internetted. Love you all and miss you all xxx
p.s Charl it might interest you to know that we have a home and away beachbabe with us who got to pash Aiden! AMAZING

Kunming
Hello all!
Safely arrived in Kunming which is yet too rain so far! It is a really cool city with a lake right next to the hotel and in traditional chinese style so many fairy lights I could almost gag!
Everybody is so much fun, the Australians are sweet fun and Casey is really chillaxed cool! Last night we had dinner with the whole group and then went out for what turned out to be a PAAAAARTY! Charlie you'd be proud of me, although it is going to be awfully difficult to burn all my money seeing as the massive massive bottles of beer are less than a dollar. Oh yes I drink beer now which is a little bit fun! But all in all a fabulous night. The downside was loosing the one key to our room and sleeping on the floor in anothers! But it turns out that the beds are pretty much like that at any rate.
I'm on my lunch break now from the course which turns out to be pretty boring really! The course is really when the jetlag catches up on me. We went to an amazing dumpling place for luch which even with my distrust of the slippery suckers turned out to be deliciously devine.
Everything is going really really well, I totally happy! Prob wont be able to skype until Yiwu though.
Takeaway dinner by the lake this evening, fol;lowed by some well needed sleep. Love to all xx Kate

Hong Kong Airport
One of my new found friends, an old chook and I just transferred to our Dragon air flights. I muttered something about finding internet and scooted away, she was very Canadian and slightly embarrassing to hang with.
So now just waiting in the airport for my flight which is about 5 hours away. But will shortly be checking out the food situation around here, The clock says early but tummy says lunchtime!
Well the plane was interesting. I had the great treat of sitting by myself with the most insane korean guy I have truly ever seen. He was manic! The nice mummy behind me thought Autism. Unfortunately for me this meant that he often did strange things like call over 5 hostess's to ask whether he needed to sign a slip, getting up right when we got our meals causing impossible balancing acts with me holding both of our trays and forcing me to turn off my reading light, and at one point television, the latter of the two I naturally refused. But on the upside everybody around me took great sympathy on me and were pretty sweet.
Because of this odd boy next to me it was difficult to have a conversation, he tried once when he was rather angry that my Vegan meal came far earlier than his but that was about the extent of our convo. Fortunately his lack of english and sense did allow me to call him both a pongo and an angel. He had no idea what was going on though.
But my greatest feat was the airhostess that I got so good. Taking sympathy on me at first but then became convinced that we knew each other and asked if I still lived in Auckland, which of course "I did" and by the end of the trip I left him with a great wave, and a "Well I'll see you soon I guess, hope you have a great trip" lol lol lol. I rule.
Vegans must starve their whole lives. I'm going to find myself some meat. Much love XXXX
