Fun with friends

This past weekend my roommate and I were able to venture into China and get a few things accomplished.  We got haircuts, which were long overdue.  It was nice to get a head massage as is custom here before a haircut.  Thankfully they didn't try to wash my ears...they use a tool to scrape out the earwax, but it's almost like a half-circular knife, and I'm not a fan.

We were also able to have 9 other people join us to eat dinner across the boarder.  It was a lot of fun to have a group of friends with us.  I haven't been keen on taking photos lately, so I don't have any photos of the outing, except for one with my hair ready to get cut!  But that one will stay off the Internet ;)

I am busy preparing for classes this week and getting ready for a social event that we have going on here at the English Center.  It's a combined CEC/Church event, and we will be performing in a drama.  It's not quite a Passion play, but it's 5 different characters from that story telling their part.  My role is singing.  I'll be singing verses of  "Were You There" in Chinese and English between the people speaking.

The weather is getting warmer, and I even saw the sun today (though it was quickly covered by fog rolling in).  It's humid as always, and it went from cold to a little uncomfortably warm in the matter of days.

Yesterday was my day off, and I was able to make a family specialty--danish.  It is a very very delicious cinnamon roll, and my coworkers rejoiced ;)  It was fun to be able to make it and share it with everyone.  I don't do it often, as it takes a good chunk of the day to make it.

Just a note: it looks like next year my position will be changing: stay tuned to find out what it is!  I don't have a final decision as to what I will be doing, but change is in the future!  Once the decision becomes official and after I have shared with family, I will be sharing it with you!  I cannot be certain of when that will be finalized.

I don't have much to share.  If you have any questions (besides what I'll do next year!), let me know!
