Hey!
I just thought i'd let you all know how we're getting on. Today we learned Chinese in the morning for 3 hours and played games and stuff then in the afternoon everyone at the summer school went to a international middle school and had a lecture for an hour or so. We learned about the ethnic minorities in China and stuff like that.
Later on in the afternoon the children of the school performed dances and songs for us and we joined in some of the dances. We then came back and played basketball with some Chinese visitors (and we won awoohoo!!) We did have mixed teams though.
Tha's pretty much it for now. I'll be back on soon because there's so much to tell hehe!
Love qiao na, ai bi jia and ai ma :O) We're having a fab time xxxx
Good to hear your news. Keep it coming!!
It's 30º here and everyone is wilting.

I'll second that!!! I don't suppose it will be quite as humid as it is in Kunming, but it's certainly making being at work a bit unpleasant! Sounds like you've had a good day. I spent much of today getting organised for our own Chinese Summer School next week. We'll be running a blog probably so I'll let you know the address etc. and you can be our "conversation partners"!

Ni hao from a scorching Scotland!! Read your blog entry, tis good to hear that some of us are managing to get work done, it's almost impossible for anyone here (except Mark it seems!) to do anything coz of the heat!
Nice to hear all about your adventures and that you're having a fab time! But you must also tell us about the cuisine over there as well... what's the food like, and how is everyone coping with chopsticks? :-P
Hope to read more from you soon!

Can't wait to hear a roundup of the last few days - you were obviously having far too much time to blog. Or did you have problems blogging from China? Interested to know...
Well done - sounded great.

Hi Grange school.
It sounds like you had a wonderful time in China.
I would love to take my pupils to China. How do you go about arranging it?
