Big Family Reunion

Although my Father stated that I should name my text blog "Barf" because I have become very familiar with the word since all three of my roomies have been sick this week. I decided against it :) I could have taken some really good pictures to put onto the blog though!
So this weekend was kinda a crazy but fun one. Yesterday Jane (the owner of the Language Bond Insitute) took all of the ILP teachers in the Zhongshan area to Zhu Hai for a day trip. We really didn't know what to expect except the fact that Jane always feeds us at nicer restaurants. So we left about mid-day without Raychel and Jadie because of their illnesses. First they took us to the school in ShirQi where they gave us lunch and some prety sweet polos to wear. They reminded me of EFY counseling shirts. Once everyone arrived they took about a million and two photos of us in our sweet polos. It was actually really neat to see everyone again. Some of the people I had just said goodbye to from our trip to San Ya and others I haven't seen since Hong Kong. It was a big familiy reunion! Its also nice to be able to talk to someone who can understand you :)
Next we took a bus to Zhu Hai to go to the Yung Wing International Kindergarten School. It sounds like a weird little field trip but it was amazing!! I have never seen a school like it! It had kitchen rooms, art and crafts rooms, a dance studio, a stage, a science center, music rooms. It was just incredible. We all just ran from room to room taking tons of pictures and playing with all the toys. Made me want to be a kid again. The outside of the school was even better. There were different house/play areas. They had made castles, farm areas, waterfalls, rock climbing walls, train stations, totem polls. It was amazing! I think it might be an new ILP school which be such an awesome place to be able to teach but a lot of pressure.
When we were done at the school Jane took all of us to this cool restaurant that was placed over a river. It was a seafood restaurant and although I do like seafood I had a hard time with them food they gave us. Lots of tentacles, shrimp that still had eyeballs, and goose legs. I wasn't really in the mood and I guess either was Emily because on the way home by van she was throwing up. Poor girl. The sickness is going around.
It was so a random but an awesome day. I loved it! Hope all is going well with you. Thanks for all the comments!
