Teacher in new EF shirt and beige pants
Hi, I've lost my voice and if anyone knows where i was clumsy enough to leave it, please return it. It's due to my cold , not teacher talking. I sound like a squeeky Darth Vader, which confuses the kids a bit. Hopefully it will be back on Monday for the start of Winter Fun and my interview with the SZ Police for my residency permit.
Everyday things still amuse me. I was walking past the back door of a restaurant near school and watched a cook trying to weigh a flapping large fish, presumably before it became dinner. I was carrying my take-away crispy BBQ pork which i know how to order - paragraph 2, line 7 on the menu.
Wed bike ride started with the tyres needing air, ver friendly service for 50c. Prefer to have FreedomFriday here, much more comfy to ride.
Karaoke on Wed night was in honour of Diana and Allen's birthdays. Mostly in Chinese but a few from Sound of Music and the Beatles for the foreigners.
The locals are not shy or singing, cameras or performing...not your average Aussie.
Red lanterns, Oxen and a wide assortment of decorations appear around the Christmas decorations and clearly the Spring Festival is gearing up. Firecrackers are heard regularly in the street , sound like a whip cracking rather than anything more sinister.
I've mastered the washing machine thanks to a helpful email from Siemens customer service, giving instructions in English to a very similar model.
Winter Fun starts tomorrow Mon-Fri then its Spring Festival.
Enjoy the read, trivial it may be.
