So let's see what has happened in the past month...We are of course in post exams right now at school so a lot of farewells and meetings and ceremonies and such happening at school. I have a drama club at school as well and we had our performance on July 5th, so weeks were spend trying to get ready with students not showing up. In the end our whole performance changed and we went from doing a nice full length play to three short mostly improved plays that seemed more chaos than performance. Oh well Ce la vie! There was also as always the famous Canada Day celebration in Lan Kwai which proved to be a bit of a disappointment this year. There was hardly anyone in LKF and the booths weren't as much fun as usual and the people working the booths really didn't care if they did anything or not and most of the time weren't even at their booths. Plus during the day we had gone to Shek-O beach and had a lovely but long day in the sun. The beach was AWESOME! Danny knows a place that not too many people know about so it wasn't packed. Getting to Shek-O was pretty busy and hard to get on the bus but that was nothing compared to getting home. We had to wait for more than an hour in line to get on a mini bus to get to the MTR. Anne and I took a taxi from there to go home and change etc. But the rest of them just went straight to Central which made them even more exhausted. Then of course it was Danny's Birthday! Super fun and about 40-50 people showed up, which was way more goodie bags than what I had made but for those that came late I guess they missed out. Darts, Foosball, and beer pong all in once place, how can you go wrong! It was super fun and everyone had a great time. Which brings me pretty much up to date...going out for some dim sum with my co workers and English Panel Chair...mmm Dim Sum!

After a long long while......

So once again i am apologizing for not keeping on top of things...I could promise to be better but I don't think you are supposed to make promises you can't keep. So what has been going on since March 18th you ask? Well I guess a lot! I don't think I can remember everything from that far back but I will maybe start with just the beginning of this year. So I renewed my contract at LKPFC and have been working here for my second year. I only teach the senior students which is awesome because we can have conversations and I don't have to baby them. The students here are super awesome and I have just resigned another contract for my third year. Although I think next year will be much harder and more work I'm pretty stoked to have my own class and have far too many ideas on what I want to do with them to help them improve their English, all of which I'm sure they will probably not enjoy even though I think they will be super fun. Other than that I go to go back home for Christmas which was nice to see my family again. Not very many friends there anymore, but I guess that happens when you leave, people forget and move on. Anyways it was fun to be back for a bit but nice to go back and get away from the cold. For Chinese New year we went to Sri Lanka, the place itself was quite nice but for a poor country that just came out of a war not too long ago it was EXPENSIVE!!! by far the most expensive place I have been to in Asia yet. I probably will never go back plus there wasn't too much to do. We took a day trip and it was nice but nothing really new or unusual. Then for Easter we went to Boracay, which was amazing!!!! Wow is all I can say! I just love that place and will definitely go back there! I have been to the Philippines before a few times but no place was as great and as fun and as beautiful as Boracay. We had so much fun and the beach was beautiful with white sandy beaches and parties every night. It was amazing and I went out on a sailboat and went snorkeling on another day. Then at the end of May we went for a short little visit to Macau for like three days of sun,fun and Portuguese food. It was nice to just have a little get away from school and Hong Kong and just relax for a bit. we also got to stay at the Sheraton which just opened and has like three pools. so that's all the catch up I have for now and I will try to write more often.....
