Who would'a thought?

Our school is pretty awesome. They sent us to Hainan for a Sports Week break which is like a intramural Olympics that schools have every year. They don't have organized sport so it is a pretty big deal for some of the students here. They had 3 days off from classes. Hainan is the southernmost part of China and has the only tropically located city. So they flew us down for 3 days sight seeing and some time on the beach! Unbelievable!

The Foreign Teachers and our guides!

Nancy and Becca began badgering me one evening because I am from what we call a "village" and they had never known anybody from a village. We later found that Jet is also a villager (and Michigan too). Thus we have been trying to act the part.


I found an enormous pea pod.


We went on a boat ride down a river...


The girls joined in on a traditional dance
