I miss you all. I hope that you had a nice weekend and are ready for another week of school.
I am in Hangzhou (you say it like "Han Joe") now. It was a very long trip to get here. I flew on an airplane for over 12 hours… that is longer than your day at school! Here is a picture of us getting ready to get on the plane. It was so early that it was still dark outside! The picture is a little blurry, but this is the only one I have.
The city that I am living in is very large. There are over 9 million people here! When I look out my window, this is what I see. There are tall buildings everywhere you look. It's very different than the wide open spaces we enjoy in Montana.
I have met many very nice people here. People are very excited to speak English with me.
The food here is very different than it is in America. Some of the foods seem very strange to me, but I have tried a little bit of everything. These are foods that the Chinese people eat every day. Most of it has been delicious!
This morning, I was introduced to the school. The school gave me a beautiful silk scarf as a gift. I learned that, in China, when you give or get a gift, you use both hands to hold it.
Now, it is time for me to observe an English class being taught. I'm so excited to meet the students! I can't wait to write you about it!
Have a wonderful week and Happy Halloween on Thursday! I am looking forward to seeing your costumes.
Love,
Mrs. Heflin
