The #Chinese concept of #icecream and my idea of a delicious treat are not the same π This was a Chinese popsicle my student likes – green tea with a red bean filling. Somehow not quite the same as good old fashioned Chocolate π

#cooking in #China π When you live in a #itsybitsy apartment with no counter space and definitely nooven, you have to do a little engineering for #baking #chocolatechipcookies π So instead we use an old #target game board and a table oven. My life is so much fun!

Haha! π I Love my #huawei Chinese phone. It has the best #English descriptions for things sometimes. Apparently our #Weather is ‘dreary and very unhealthy’ – you know, life just sucks sometimes π I just got a Warning from the phone for Tuesday when it’ll get down to 21degrees!!! – so cold they asked me to check my ‘mouth muffler, ear mufflers, and gloves. π It’s like Having a second mom. π

I β€ KTV and #music!! It’s the Chinese name for #Karaoke . My students and I like to Visit this one because It’s cheaper during the day. Usually in China, you can go during the day for a lot less than at night. Sometimes you can get a free room as long as you buy a certain amount of snacks π It’s a great way for the students to practice their #esl π This one just updated their pictures outside!
βI’ve been sick today so I was playing on Taobao and found these adorable/hilarious dollhouse items. If You’ve ever lived in China you’d know how accurate these images are π Down to the cheap Chinese prngle alternatives (they look exactly like that!), cooke tins, and Green tea Oreo knockoffs π. I’ve been Coke Zero free for more than a month, but those bottles are so funny. And the fanta soda. π

Happy Lantern Festival! Tonight is the night (15 days after #ChineseNewYear ) when the Chinese light paper lanterns and send them up to the sky.
My picture wasn’t very good π I’ll post a better one later. But the #moon sure was pretty! Here in Zhengzhou, we have the highest smog records for the country, so the moon is a rare night. Today was perfect for the festival! Clear skies, brisk air, and a good wind. π
Wishing you all the best and a great upcoming year! π
