This last couple of weeks have been jam packed with activities. Here are photos commemorating these events.
My 10th grade students created an IB extravaganza performance to display their wonderful talents. One evening I had dinner with my Tai Chi friends and master. They gave me a RED tai chi uniform! I am a part of the group now and am the only one in bright red! Friends, Marty and Jim Hartman from America met me in Shanghai. We explored the Yunnan Gardens and chatted non-stop.
This weekend is Dragon Boat Festival. We celebrate with steaming rice dumplings, ‘Zong Zi’ in Chinese, and salty duck eggs, ‘Xian Ya Dan’ and green bean cakes, ‘Lv Dou Gao’. Our school gave us a box of duck eggs, which I thought I might like, but when I bit into one, it was very gritty with a red oily yoke. Not something this vegetarian really cares for. The rice dumplings are fun, as they are wrapped in bamboo leaves and tied with threads, very yummy.
Life in China is one adventure after another.
I am anxiously waiting for the blog “July in the USA!” That said, sounds like you are having fun and keeping busy in China.
Hugs!

Love the pics!! The food looks good – well I don’t know about the fish on the plate – but the rest looks great!! I know you will love getting home to Blue Texas Sky!!
Susan, It was wonderful to see you in Shanghai. Our group loved meeting and getting to know you and we had such fun sightseeing and museuming together. Have a safe trip back to Texas — hope it cools off there…
Love, Marty
