Days 277-283 - Teaching till the weekend

We spent most of the week working and trying to get over the cold(s) that we've had since Vietnam! Luckily by the weekend we were feeling better and so Adam and Matt went out with some of their students to enjoy a night of chuanrs and a keg of beer on Friday night! The night was great fun and the food was definitely an experience - consisting of sheep spinal cord, lamb feet, cow heart, and bulls balls to go along with the normal beef and lamb kebabs.

On Saturday Adam woke up a little worse for wear, but after Liv's Chinese lesson we went out for lunch with Liv's teacher Carol to a great vegetarian restaurant in town. Afterwards Carol took Liv to get her haircut, which thankfully turned out great - Liv was more than a little nervous, but for 15 kuai (a mere NZ$2.75) she got the full deal (hair wash, massage, cut and style)!

On Sunday along with Matt we ventured out to the markets on the other side of town, with the intention of buying up large to send some stuff home - but once again the perils of being taller and having bigger feet than the local Chinese person we walked away with only one pair of jeans for Adam ...

On our way back home we did manage to make some purchases when we stopped off at the dvd store to stock up on some more dollar movies. Plus we bought season 2 of Prison Break to fill the void when we finish the 3rd season of LOST!!

Adlibing our way through the week
