I've now finished teaching at the school, and was sad to leave all my students behind who i'd got to know. The final week was a mix of games (the clasics of hangman, hot seat, charades etc. along with a music game where I play a song they circle the right genre, and O&X's addapted with words so they had to make a sentence using their chosen word), playing music (the students love DJ and dance music, and off course the Chinese favorites of Justin Beiber, Lady GaGa and Micheal Jackson), questio...

Each primary school put on a different play from 'The Three Little Pigs', to 'The Shoemaker and the Elves' and 'The Ugly Ducking'.

On my way to school I cycle , through a small outdoors market selling fresh fruit and veg, then down a winding road lined with trees and flowers, then through a big indoor market lined with fresh bread stalls, which smell amazing, freshly cooked chicken stands, stir fry stands and all the essential spices and in...
