I keep forgetting to take my camera in to school - as soon as I do I'll have some more pictures. I've been getting up around 6 every morning and trying to hit the sack around 10. My body seems to have adjusted to the hard bed (can you say rock?) and I don't seem to have any sore muscles. My breakfast so far has consisted of a hard-boiled egg (they sell them in bags at the market - I bought a bag and there were 16 eggs in it!) and a piece of bread with some jam thrown on top. Along with a couple cups of instant coffee that seems to get me going. For lunch at school I've been eating in the cafeteria and that is my big meal. They pile the food on your plate - no way I can eat it all. And I have no idea what any of it is - yesterday I thought I was eating something with chicken in it and turns out it was eggplant. Whatever it is, it's healthy!
I think my largest class has 27 students in it. The most they could have is 30 as that's the number of desks in a room. Once the school year starts, the students don't move around much so your numbers don't change. My smallest class is 17 and all the others I would put in the mid 20's.
All of the students have their regular Chinese names and then an English name that they choose because many of their names are so hard to pronounce. A couple of my favorites so far are Black and Strong...
So a few pics to take a gander at: the living area of the apartment, kitchen, and bedroom. The bottom photo is the view looking out one of the windows. I'm on the 11th floor of a 20 story building. Hope everyone had a great Labor Day - no such thing here!
