Tibetan Dance

Last night was the Chinese teachers' chance to perform some of their traditional Chinese dances and songs for us. It was the most enjoyable evening yet since we have arrived. Their was so much spirit and pride in their dances. I also got to take part in a traditional Tibetan dance with my students (teachers). They were so gracious in teaching it to me. It was a lot of fun to perform, and we were all having so much fun.

This week has flown by. After I teach two lessons today, we will officially be done with 2 weeks of the program with only 3 weeks to go. My room-mate and I already said that we will probably cry when we leave the Chinese teachers.

Yesterday, the North American teachers went out for supper instead of eating in the cafeteria. Three of my students came up to my room after supper to bring me white bread and a piece of watermelon. They are worried about my health. One teacher asked me if I was having some problems or sickness on my face; it's only acne, but the way she said it was so kind and genuine that I did not even mind her asking. No worries; I am perfectly healthy.
