Grange in China

18th july!

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

你好 Ni hao from China!

Hey guys! The weather here is soo unbearably hot but we're having a fantastic time.

We'll write more about the journey when we get time, but this is just a quick update. We were at the opening ceremony yesterday and did some Scottish dancing for them. I said a sentence in Chinese at the beginning to represent my class, then as i was leaving i spoke Chinese to one of the important people. I think his name was Mr Yahan! And of course i had know idea and i'm just jibbering away hehe trust me! But he was pleased and was smiling so i think its all good lol! (A bit like the Rachel incident for those of you know know what I mean!) Today we went to see Karst Caves and it was amazing. I've got great pics to show u all when i get back and hopefully I'll be able to get some of them up on the blog v soon.

I hope this works!

Love qiao na!! (that's my Chinese name, by the way!) xxx
