A long time coming!

Apologies for the long gap between my posts. I recently got a new camera and I am trying to work out a way of easily adding the photos to my blog. However, using an iPad is no use as there is no USB port and using my work laptop is no good either as blogger is blocked and VPNs aren't allowed. (VPNs direct your internet through a private network and therefore avoid the bans on Chinese Internet, otherwise known as "The Great Firewall"!)

The past two weeks have been great! I hope my weekends carry on being as fun as they are now!
Highlights of the past couple of weeks;

- Visiting People's Square and Park - eating street food whilst watching old men playing Chinese checkers. Wandering past hundreds of couples displaying information about their children to entice a potential husband or wife for them. Photos to follow!
- Chilled out BBQ in Yanlord
- Trying loads of different types of dim sum (I do have photos of this, as I had to take them on my phone)



Shrimp and sticky rice dim sum



Me and Charlene perfecting our chop stick skills!

- Irish music in a tiny bar called the Wooden Box, followed by dancing in a shockingly bad club!
- Residential trip with year 5 to Nanbei Hu. The kids had a great time on the leap of faith and we all had fun kayaking. The nickname "miss bum in the lake" is likely to stick for the time being! It was nice being outside and getting to know the kids a bit more, as well as the other teachers! Nothing like bonding over cockroaches in your bathroom and toilet incidents on the coach!!
- Ladies day at Aussie Rules - free champagne, great food and fit men in shorts. No complaints from me!

So there is a short and sweet round up of my last few weeks! I will try and add some more posts in more detail in the coming weeks!
