It's almost a week since I've upgraded from couch to full apartment! It's lovely to have my own place but also kind of lonely due to the fact that I'm living in this huge place by myself! Most of the staff is in this apartment complex but everyone is on different floors and I'm all the way up on the 17th floor! I have an awesome view of the pangu plaza building.
The campus isn't huge which is good because the kids won't get lost easily. Since their arrival we've been packing in countless activities and class just started for them so they are starting to get over their jetlag and into a routine. The canteene food isn't awesome, but it'll have to make due. I've stocked up my fridge with beer, 绿茶，冰红茶 and of course normal water.
Since today is July 4th , we've planned an awesome surprise pizza party for them (hopefully the pizza is decent even though I really wanted Kro's Nest pizza!!) This will be my first 4th of July without any fireworks so it should be interesting. Such cultural difference does really stand out at certain times and this is one of those times. I really want to buy the kids some sparklers or something, but don't think that's within the budget..le sigh
This weekend is also my first weekend off!!!! I'm so excited to sleep in and have free time! I'll be touring around NLGX again and hopefully other areas as well. I'd love to go back to houhai and just chill there and take photos without running around.
Now it's back to lesson planning for Tian an men today since that is what my kids picked for today's cultural excursion.. Let's hope they don't get lost!
laters!
