We officially started our Kung Fu lessons this weekend and I have to say it was awesome! We are becoming more and more Chinese as these four months progress. We learned some sweet blocks, punches, kicks, and had some sore muscles the next couple of days. It was actually pretty hilarious because our second teacher was Korean. He brought a translator that translated what he said into Chinese which was then translated into English by our coordinator Gloria. We got a laugh out of that once we realized what was going to have to happen the entire class. They were great lessons though and I'm excited for them to happen again this weekend. We'll be Kung Fu masters by the time we come home!
Then there's also the topic of fake holidays. Yes, while living in another country away from the normal world you live in you tend to start doing different things to celebrate the day. So as of last Wednesday, Happy Valentines Day! Each of us had a secret admirer and got a card and treats for our special someone. We even had a card contest with prizes because that made it all the better! Now we didn't get to make a bunch of baked goodies because we don't have the luxury of American products but I do have to say we enjoyed ourselves anyways. We listened to love songs throughout our party and just had to watch a chick flick to call the night a success. We had a great time. Happy Fake V-Day!
