Give me sunshine

Class 1503- still holding the title of my favourite class
"Fire safety" exercises at my school- if you look closely you can see a guy falling through the air near the second floor about to hit the blow-up pillow... since this is a totally feasible option for fire escape with 1000+ students in one building...

My school held the annual massive sports meeting for all of the schools in Huarong county- from elementary to high school, the best athletes come to compete for 3 days. The opening ceremony was absolutely fantastic! How they manage to control all of these little kids and make them form perfect lines and walk in sync blows my mind.

By golly they are so cute





My students!!!! (not all, of course. not even half)

Over the weekend I judged at a national debate where teams of 14-17 year olds from all over Hunan, and some teams from other big cities came to debate about space vs. ocean exploration. Some of these kids had flawless English and have never left their country... It was an awesome weekend! I learned so much and it was inspiring seeing these kids actually talking about important issues and the future of the world. 
The final debate.
At "Curry & Pancakes" restaurant...
