Now it was written a short while last since I. In particular, because nothing really significant happened and we were pretty busy with our regular routines. This semester Laura and I are all teaching from drama club to preschool up to 9 years old. On the days we teach not to do, we still have the lessons and the design plan and develop curriculum and such. My days are Mondays and Fridays during Laura off on Tuesdays and Fridays.
In addition to teaching still Laura blog for safe international road travel Association and freelance writing articles on travel, fashion and lifestyle China Global times. I have every Thursday that Beijing Handball Club and practice connected. The weekend tournaments going too hard for me to visit with my curriculum but perhaps something can be arranged. Wednesday evening we did go to a pub quiz from our apartment and Friday, we would, like to go to the Chabad at least if we can. Next month we start our Chinese lessons.
We would like to host sofa surfers to start. We were so many friendly hosts, we
Want to give back. As of yet we have not hosted, but we have a Latvian and a pole which come in the next few weeks. I have many requests, but we are not a hotel. Backpackers or people on their around the world are a few like to welcome called once in a while though. Fortunately for the Spring Festival is about... Fireworks was almost non-stop every night for the last 3 weeks to go. Finally we are all enjoyed celebrating honest Abe's 202nd birthday in style, all of us dressed in top hats in a log cabin restaurant in Wu (our neighborhood.)This weekend we had 4 days in a row and decided to leave Beijing for a bit. Laura added a Chengdu article and I found flights out of Beijing, Chengdu, $99 to get the capital of Sichuan, so we decided. It is also our last weekend to may. Sichuan is known for its spicy food, its temples and of course its pandas. We stayed at the wonderful youth hostel. It had everything a traveller could possibly including TV and DVD player in each room
a huge DVD and book selection, many corners and angles, a nice bar, gardens, a play area with ping-pong, table football, billiards, a scale a range trading clothes, free drinking water, is a travel desk, many lounging room... I mean, you name it, they had it. Simply the best hostel I've ever been the. The rooms were big with fluffy beds, pillows and heating so hot, we had to open window! All for only $7 per night!What's with the temples? Not huge Temple fans are one of us anyway so perm for 4 hours Laura got her hair while I went the convent and temple grounds to explore our Chinese tour guide, us for the day to your off time to hang out with offered. In addition to the numerous Buddhas the experience was "Unfit for human consumption tea". It is so called because you start with a large glass with a forest of leaves and flowers on the bottom. Then every time you take, the hot water man comes a single SIP and "tops you." I never got beyond the top inch!
So the most important
Reason we came down due to the pandas. They were so sweet. No matter what you did, it was always so much fun to watch. Even the Red Pandas were fun to watch. I have to keep even a 5 month old from nursery. He was really like a cat or a big baby; I'm not sure which. He remained fit and try to get more comfortable. He liked his belly rubbed. The thing is surprised me, there was no bone. He was like a heavy pillow just soft and fluffy. When he got bored he finally got a honey soaked bamboo stick to suck.We were a Sichuan cooking course to take, but in the end, for a Sichuan chosen hot pot with friends. They are known for your spicy food. In fact, it was all so sharp that I could hardly eat a thing. We down tamed the hot pot and drank some Chinese wine called Bijou (are more like whisky), to help us get through the meal. Then who large took back at the hostel I was beaten by Chinese table tennis player 3 times pleasure
from my defeat. It was fun. Then we saw a Julia Roberts movie, I don't seen somehow had "Fireflys in the Garden" called, and slept for about 12 hours.He in downtown Chengdu Tianfu square coffee drink our last morning spent, read and watch people. Chairman Mao is also a huge statue which was probably over 300 meters high. The Park was very peaceful and was a big weekend a wonderful end. And now back to Beijing for us. Talk to you in March again.
