just before 10am went to class. (yesterdays class starts at 8am - tomorrows is 6-9pm)
As usual the street outside was busy with chit chat and many students all going to classes ( or maybe leaving classes seeing as thier first classes are at 8am). At this time of the morning many carried bags and cups which contained their breakfast - of course many are tucking into their breakfast.
Class was busy, today is my class with 50 students - today they started work creating websites the topic anything relating to life on campus.
After class, i went to the staff canteen, it was late and things were closing down, i chose a spicey veg and meat dish to have with my rice - it was very nice. (this isnt actually the picture of todays lunch as i didnt take one today - but it is similar) in this pic you can see a breadlike thing - i think it amazing that these are picked up with chopsticks as are the dumplings which are sometimes quite big. I have learned to do this too!
After lunch, back in my room I have the window open as the sun is shining and it is a beautiful day, I 've heard the swish of water being spoon fed to the plants growing outside, chickens and other birds, the occasional dog bark and fairly frequent tooting of car horns, someone had a radio on - i don''t know the tunes! Way in the distance i can hear military training going on somewhere again. there are also sounds of banging coming from the area behind the gardens and mad busy street - i guess it is folk getting on with their work, doing necessary jobs.
So now i am deciding to upload some random pictures - after letting you know the kinds of things i hear on a day to day basis.
I have QQ now - its like the CHinese msn, All of my students want my QQ address - everytime someone goes online you hear
knockknock - i would have to have my sound off as i dont know where to
find the settings to change the sound!!
On Sunday some friends took me out to get Chinese food from a local restaurant - it was really nice and relaxed and freindly :o) Next time i am taking them to pizza hut - where they can have pizza (that is what they want) and i can have chnese food in pizza hut!!! o
