I just realized that I made my blog public and that I only wrote in this blog most recently when I wasn't quite cheery. So in order to achieve some sort of balance I will account happy and quite normal happenings in a less emo manner.
Soo October break passed and it was quite exciting. Exciting in that I experienced a mix of highs and lows.
Lowlights: giving all my money to a skin/spa/facial/massage place half-heartedly
bloody toe
getting shooed out of a music store
all the people on the street chasing me and grabbing my arm trying to sell me things
Highlights: leading worship at Encounter retreat and rocking out
leading "making melodies" at Encounter
hanging with my small group
go-carting at the F1 race track!
the first guitar shop!
xiao long bao place with pretty buildings
one entire day reading
smothees
riding a bike through shanghai for the first time.
Oh and this weekend I went to this incredible 5th grader birthday party. It was all you could eat hot pot at one of the most expensive high class hot pot restaurants in shanghai that overlooks the bund (water/skyline). THere was a chocolate fondue fountain with marshmallows, and we even began roasting marshmallows on the hotpot flames. THere was a game of bingo followed by birthday group ice skating at the rink next door. muchos fun. I got to skate with some of my fifth graders! So much more fun than teaching them.
K, muchos hombre.
