So to explain why I have posted a picture of a metal bowl, I will tell you about the 15th of February. That day was our first full day here at the school. Our English Liason, Stone, took us to the town center so that we could do some shopping and get some credit on a SIM card for our mobile phones. We definately needed his help because it seems that here in this area, not one soul speaks English.
So we enter the China Mobile store and Stone starts talking with the lady behind the desk and paying for our cell phone credit. After a while of standing around not having a clue of what was going on, the lady behind the desk proceeded to hand us what you see in the pictures. A large metal bowl.
We asked Stone what it was for and he said that it was a gift from China Mobile for getting a phone number. haha, it was pretty cool. I mean, I never got anything from Verizon when I signed contract with them. While I have only used it to carry soaking wet clothes from the washer to outside, I know that this would mean a lot to some normal Chinese person.
So we have been teaching more classes and it seems to be going very well. The enhancements I have made to my lessons are helping and I am really enjoying it. Unfortunately Jordan has come down with a bit of a head cold with a sore throat and a really runny nose. Poor kid. Hopefully he will be feeling better soon. Pray for him!
Well, it is the morning here so I best get on with my day. You know, “being productive”. 🙂 Love you all!
