We spent David's last day lunching at Provence, setting off fireworks and having a very long foot massage with Anna and Gunnar. Later I was banished to the kitchen to make Lasagna (seriously...when I have I ever really minded cooking!) We spent a quiet evening drinking NZ sparkling and eating lasagna before he left at 4am to catch his plane back to Germany and then England! The time went amazingly quick and it doesn't feel like a week since he left, it feels like ages!
The first week back at school was crazy and continues to be as we try to finish up units, write new ones for next term, start and finish reports and turn classrooms around for the new term. I also have a lot more students coming into my Art class so I need to be prepared and planned for that entirely also. I am trying to get a lot done so i have nothing to do when I go home and can just relax! I am so looking forward to getting home and seeing my family,catching up with friends and soaking up some rays....I am such a whitey at the moment!
I managed to finally pry myself away from school and the couch on Friday night and venture out with Anna and new found friends Kiki and Justyna to the Paulaner Bar in the Kempinski Hotel. It was great...fabulous food, great wine, good company and live music to go with it! We even had control of the request book and managed to fit in a few sneaky (or not so sneaky) dances in front of the old Laowai's and Chinese businessmen there...not quite the highlight of my night but we enjoyed ourselves!
Next it was off for some serious dancing at Soho, a favourite night spot of mine......it was so good to be out dancing again and I am going to make a serious effort to brave the cold and do it more often! We met some more fellow Laowai's...around our age.....which is not really heard of in Wuxi and managed to dance, talk and drink the night away! A few dramas entailed but that just made the night a great one!
It was nice to finish the weekend off with a long leisurely walk to busy, busy Auchan to pick up some supplies...the TP was getting extremely low!
Tonight brings more planning, hopefully the finish of some reports and a dinner at Uberfoods! Oh yeah...4 courses of heavenly good food! I can't wait!
Hope you are all well,
Can't wait to be home, only 10 more sleeps!
Arohanui,
Love Amy xxoo
