We are in Tongxiang, China. We left the hotel this morning after a typical Chinese Breakfast. We had eggs, bannanas, noddles, Chinese doughnuts, watermelon like always, dumplings, rice because it is very easy to cook and very cheap.
,
We took a bus to the school. My mom was scared because of the way the bus driving was driving. She thought for sure someone would get run over.
We got to the school and all these people were waiting for us. There was a big sign
that said Welcome North American Teachers.

We went on a tour of the school and saw kids with their uniforms, with army soldiers
that train them to be good in the class. They have being going for a week of Chinese
soldier traning. My mom thinks we should do this in the US.

We then went to a meeting room so all the teachers could start planning lessons.
Everyone is a little worried that they all unprepared, but they are giving them 2 days to plan.

Then we had lunch. This is what we had. WE had shrimp, rice, Chines bread is very good there is a vegetable like broccoli, but better,and for the first meal yet nooooooooo fish. They have always had fish but lucky not this time.
I always try everything it makes it much more interesting.

I am having a great time so far.
