A Long days travel to Guilin

Hi everyone!
I'm sorry that the last post came out in gobbledy gook- I think I was typing in English in a Chinese font. Sorry about that!
We had a wonderful time at the Cambridge school in Hanzhong. We met up with old friends who have visited here as well as making some new ones. We taught 9 40 min classes on saturday and 8 on sunday - so we're pretty exausted by the end! In all we were able to talk with 3,000 students - not a bad effort for 2 days work huh!

Our kids were amazing! They took to teaching like naturals! It was fantastic to watch. The biggest hit of the visit was one BB - who was adored by all - particularly some of the young girls who made him a number of gifts! I have some fantastic footage of him being mobbed by a whole lot of little people - It's worth a look! He's had a wonderful time and was very touched by the experience. The whole thing was filmed, as was our 2006 visit - so it's now going to be played at the school every weekend, as well as on Hanzhong television! Pretty cool huh! It may even go onto the net at some stage - if so I'll post it so you can check us out.

This morning we got up at 4.30, said a tearful farewell to our friends and headed off back to Xi'an (5 hour bus trip) to catch a plane to Guilin. We've visited a couple of scenic spots and some of the kids have headed off shopping with Gary - and the boys are playing Mahjong with BB. I'm going to head off to do some work on my Greek!!
Tomoorow we're off to catch a boat on the Li river to Yangshuo - promises to be a great day. Will try to blog once more before we catch the plane home on Friday night. Will be home Saturday.
Hugs and love to you all!
