A good day!

Yesterday was a good day! I had an amazing day! 
It started off with going to school; we had 99 kids to teach. I had to teach 3 periods out of 4, I taught dance, photography and game! Photography class went unusually well which made me really happy. Thankfully Julia helped me with dance class or I would have died. Game class, well, that was okay, lets just say I read them the story of the three little pigs twice because i still had so much time left over. 
After we taught we stayed at the school for lunch and they had really good food (normally their food isn't the best). They had sesame chicken and rice! Delicious!!! I had just told my Mom the other day that they didn't eat that here; I was ecstatic when I saw it!
When we were done with lunch Aaron saw a halloween mask and put it on and decided to scare people. He walked around the school with on scaring people. Hence the video....


Then we left school and went to get bubble milk tea that our schools guard John so sweetly bought us! Can I just take a break right now and say how much I love milk tea. I didn't like it when i first came (especially not with bubbles) but now I love it! It's definitely a favorite over here.
Finally we got home and all just sat around and talked and had fun. We watched comedians and laughed and had a good time while Camellia and Amber made us dinner.
When it was time for dinner we ate rice, salmon and biscuits! It was delicious! So there we were Kyle, Camellia, Amber, Julia, Aaron and I sitting around the table (Mother, and Father and the 18 year olds) having a good old time! We pretty much just laughed and ate. 
Then it was time to go to boy's town (a orphanage for boys that we go to every Monday night).  Only Jared, Kyle, Camellia, Aaron, Amber, Tony (our friend who is an English Teacher at an aboriginal school) and I went. We played basketball with them for an hour or so and we all thoroughly enjoyed that! I learned how to say "What's your English name?" in Chinese (Nín de yīngwén míng zt shì shén me) so I asked one of the littlest boys and he said "Méi yǒu" (which means "don't have"). I clever put the words that I knew together and in Chinese I asked him if he wants an English name! He said he would so we thought and we named him Nash. He's really good at basketball and he's really short so we named him Nash after Steve Nash. 
After playing basketball we left and went to the night market where I looked for a present for my darling sister! Tony (the English Teacher) bought some squid and he wanted me and Amber to taste it. He said that if I tasted it he would buy me a drink, so I tasted it. I almost puked; seriously, it was so chewy and blah! (I'm getting the chills just thinking about it)
After going and getting our drinks then hanging out in 7/11 for a while we went and toured a little more of the night market. We happened to stop by a candy stand and Amber and I decided we wanted to buy some of their candy because they had gummy fries and hot dogs. When we bought the stuff they told us that we could get balloons, so we wait in line patiently for a really long time for this guy to make me and Amber balloons. While we waited Amber and I started dancing to the music and being crazy little people.
Now we have our balloons and we're in our apartment with Tony. Amber and Julia didn't have Chinese names (I have one just so you all know An Li) so Tony gave them both Chinese names. Julia's means beautiful feather (long story) and Amber's is translated Amber. 
We sat and talked with Tony for a while and had a jolly good ole time! 
When everyone left Amber and Julia and stayed up till 2 talking and laughing and having an awesome time!!


Yep, that was my day. You had to be here to understand how awesome it was!
I have an awesome team!
