Today marks the day of a new beginning. I, Karen Miller, have begun my first blog, EVER! For real, I'm excited to share with everyone my experiences here in China. Life here for the past 2 years has been great many ups and downs, more ups!
Today for example, what started off to be a normal Thursday turned into a fun filled day ending with an amazing 3 person scooter ride, 2 western people and 1 very tall Chinese man. So I started with going to work on time as usual, 7:15. Started with a lovely staff meeting followed by some classes here and there. Actually teaching now is awesome because the weather is finally nice so I enjoy being outside. After school we had Choir practice and the girls made my heart smile as they opened mouths and sang like real singers! I was so proud. . . After an amazing choir practice I headed to Aloha to have dinner with some pretty great friends, one of who got me started on this blog tonight! (Thanks Rebecca)
Here is where the fun begins... So I told rebecca lets walk to this coffee place which i thought was fairly close, but as walked I realized it was rather far, like a 45 minute walk far. However, we only had 15 minutes to get there in time to meet our friends.. we late but it didn't matter because he was 45 minutes late.. Yes we still beat him.. Okay so the time had come for us to leave, Jacky had scooter that fits on average 2 people or 3 chinese people. .. I had a great idea that Jacky and REbecca would ride on the seat while I sat on the bottom of the scooter forcing me to hold my legs up in order my feet to not touch ground. It was great idea and it worked, HOWEVER, my legs are really sore now. Rebecca and I often do things that deserve more stares than the average foreigners receive. This was yet another one of these adventures... Yup the stares just kept coming, it was a great time.
You will probably hear about Rebecca on a regular occasion seeing that most of the crazy things I do in China include her. Example: Wedding Crashing, 3 people on a regular bicycle (i was peddling), traveling to random peoples houses for different holidays, Chinese Company formal dinners (we were in flip flops, totally out of place), and infamous KTV nightS.
Oh man this blogging is going to be awesome, be sure to tune in often.
