I've has such a good week. It's finally all getting easier at school. I feel like I know the system and am on top of things. I have finally gone through all the papers left from the last teacher and sorted out my classroom. The kids are starting to be more well-behaved. They are quite spoiled and I had to crack down on them as they just do their own thing and ignore you. Had a good day yesterday. We did art all day. We made bees from socks they look excellent and painted flowers on to rice paper then painted wooden dragon flies. The kind you can balance on the tip of your finger or nose. Love it!
We went out last night with Maz and Ben our friends from Mexico. We started at the Sheraton - which is very posh. We went to the top floor bar - where you can see across the whole city. I felt like I was on holiday. We had some good cocktails. We had a nice meal at the best tapas place I've ever been to. We had some wine then went to a really nice little bar. Woke up early and went to the bakery for croissants. So a good start to the weekend!

Long weekend
Had an excellent weekend and I'm gutted it's over and we have to go back to school again! We came down to Mui Ne which is a little strip of beach in the South China Sea. The weather has been lovely - maybe a bit too hot and the sun is punishing. There are so many lobster-people about. Luckily Gareth and I are anti-sun and smother ourselves in factor 50.
On Saturday night we went out with a load of people from school. Great seafood BBQ on the beach then dancing and beer on cushions round a bonfire. Felt a bit worse for wear the next day and we just slept on the beach and round the pool. I really needed a good catch up on sleeping as it's been crazy since we started work.
Last night we went to the gala celebration at our hotel - it's independence day today. There was loads of traditional dancing that was very cool but it all went a bit eurovision as the cheesy singers appeared. I swear one of them was Michael Jackson straight out of the eighties. We had a laugh anyway. We're back on the bus after midday to go home and I will post some photos when we get back.
