So yesterday morning I woke up with a sense of
purpose: POST. Though to collect a parcel one must travel down to the local
post depot place (I am none too sure whether this applies to letters too), the
journey there for 9am was SO worth it. After dumbly handing over my collection
card and passport with a dopey lao wài (foreigner) smile on my face, I was greeted with
this!

| Yay!! Post!!! |

OK, it may look like I have some sort of mad advent calendar addiction, but only one is for me – the rest are for my
favourite classes that I teach. Like yesterday evening’s - when I cracked out the
Simpsons advent they went mad! Especially once I explained that behind each
door is a chocolate. I have this class (composed of 8 students – 4 boys and 4
girls – between 8 and 9 years old) every 2 weeks, so I let them open the first
8 doors early. It was adorable – each student wanted to save the chocolate so
they were carrying it around with them in a small piece of tissue. I tried to
explain to them, unlike weird Chinese chocolate, this would melt. Bless.
As well as being adorable and reasonably well behaved, this class is also my favourite as a couple of the students are very keen to help me with my Chinese!
Last lesson we practised writing numbers, so this week we were reviewing them (along with them teaching me a few words). I actually wrote these! In the correct stroke order - after some prompting from my 8 year old lăoshī (teacher), Lisa.

That's all for now folks!
