Check out the laowai with her basket!

Go Amy - show us your basket!

Well, I have to have a laugh at my last post - hmmmmm relaxing at home? Christmas tree down? Pre Packing? Ummmmmm, no, no and more no!

Living by myself has been great, however when it comes to having a relaxing weekend in, the idea is good, just not the reality. As soon as I settle on the couch I realise that I have already been doing this for the last few week nights and really don't want to do it again...so then out comes the cell phone and the invites are out.

Anna, Sam and I at my apartment 'relaxing'

On Saturday it was a great gathering at my house for some impromptu drinks - NZ wine included -and then out to a local downtown bar.....after this some apologises need to be made, think these will be in person however, I don't want to embarrass myself any further! If only I had had that relaxing night IN!

Sam and the lovely Chris


The week has started off in a crazy rush - after a visit to a Shanghai school yesterday we are all back full of ideas and busy wrapping up old units, preparing new ones and preparing the new ESL after school program.
Shanghai Foreign Language School - Warm Welcome


The highlight of my day has been getting my new basket on my bike! YAY! Now I look like a real Chinese - so exciting! Feeling a bit like my old self - VERY excited!
Tracy in all her Chinese glory - basket AND umbrella!


I am also in the process of making honey mustard pork with a lentil, artichoke and goat's cheese salad - man I miss cooking.....this is probaby the first time in at least a month that I have used my kitchen!

Bon appetit everyone!
