This weekend we had a wee trip to Hangzhou, again I think that Dad will cover it in his blog, it is a really beautiful city and will def be up for a weekend trip again, even for just a relax and cool down. Pretty decent night market there that Im a tad excited about, got a wee bit allerg though so couldnt experience the fullness of the market! Love to visit that baby again
So we had dinner with the teachers and principals on Sunday evening, officially LOVE the vice principal who got some serious asian flush from three beers, spoke not one cent of english, but still learnt the word for dancing, which he will be taking us to do in the not too distant future apparently. Probably my favourite conversation was about naughtiness. From chinese to english the translation has no connotations, but when Peter said that he was a naughty old man, I could hardly help choking on the worst red wine possible before calling it petrol!
Unfortunately I tought Gez the word Ganbei, which I thought was the equivilent of cheers in english. Actually it means bottoms up, and once they knew that Dad knew the word he was getting Ganbei'd left right and centre, skulling the petrol like substance did not please him that much I don't think!
Last night Pete took us to the night market here in Yi Wu. Please would you be over to pop over to China as soon as possible Charlotte it is rather essential that you get here and to the market straight away! There is so many glittery glam articles of clothing, which Casey is NOT a fan of. It aggrivates her a little bit more with each speck of glitter that wraps my body.
Had breakfast with Papa today in the hotel before he went to the train station, now I have about 5 hours in a pre paid for 5 star hotel! Yeah life is pretty good actually. Right now I am in a robe sipping a cola, living the goodlife on a tuesday morning.
Boys coming to visit us on Friday, taking them to the night market and checking out some bars perhaps. Shanger on Sat so may not have another op to blog, til next wek or something.

Amazing description Slaam! I'm sure Pups would have been loving the petrol wine, sounds decilious...
Enjoy the 5 hours of quality hotel! Talk to you soon xx
Good stuff Katie. To be fair it was more of your deisel taste than pure 91.
I have warned the locals re the Gap invasion. No problems with train. On arrival you will be mobbed by rogue taxi drivers happy to take you where ever. Prob best to line up in que and take the trusted cabs. 30 RMB for me today.
Great trip to Yiwu. Thank you. Love Gez
Totally commenting. So I take dad took well to the principal, And vice versea. When you say prepaid... Room service? Sounds like the markets there are heavenly. I am therefore expecting the most trinkelicious Birthday gift ever.
Have a good night. Talk again soon.
Bill.
It sounds as though you have had a great week or so! Dad is so sorry to be leaving. And you seem to have plenty of social life lined up for the next little while too - when do you do any teaching?
Love hearing all the stories! I guess I hadn't expected them to treat you so much like adults, with drinking games and all. I thought they would look on you more as big kids, but clearly not..
Send us some photos of yourself in the sparkly stuff. Take care dear, have a good week. Love Mum xxx
A Bill comment?! Are my eyes deceiving me?! Good work BOnes!!
bill - it's just a stones throw to letsgetkorean! get onto it.
Mei Mei!
Oh my f. I am absolutely gagging to wriggle over there and be a glittery little angel with you. It will be so delish. I will have to practice drinking beer so I can keep up with you. But so can't wait to see you. Have 3 1/2 more weeks of school, then full time work till xmas so I can completely emerse myself in Chi Chi heaven.
