Happy Teacher’s Day!!

Posted in China, Flowers by deceptivelyblonde

September 10th was Teacher’s Day in China, the day students and administration recognize their teachers for all the hard work and efforts. I’m always impressed by how many students actually take the time to stop and tell me thanks or Happy Teacher’s day – yesterday, my entire class stood up and wished me a great day! It really is a great time for teachers and student to connect, reaching out to one another. Personally, I believe it is also a great day for teachers to reach out to the students and thank them for being so attentive and working so hard for them. I always like to stop and tell them how much I appreciate their time and efforts, and to let them know I respect them for actually working with me instead of cheating their way through.

I really do have great students!

0_0 Scary Marble Mountain Slide

Posted in China, Location, Nature, Random Cuteness by deceptivelyblonde

Climb Liaojieling Mountain in Henan, and you get the opportunity to check out this sweet marble slide! It goes about 3 city blocks down and immediately dead ends on a 2ft platform leading to a major 20 ft+ drop off. The only thing between you and the fall is a unreliable large net. FUN! 😛 It was tons of fun actually, pretty awesome!
