this little "7-11 like" shop is in our school building. we get stuff here all the time. they have american foods too, but for more than you'd pay in the states. remember 4.90 is RMB, & w/ the exchange, it's like 73 cents.

where we go everyday! this is the "main" campus. ages 5-10. 5 floors. 400? down the block is the middle school, another 200? the preschool a couple miles away, w/ a shuttle, another 150? then the secondary building is the newest, couple miles away, w/ another 150? it's a nice system for us: we leave at 7:40, lock bikes (most days), ian & elliot go on to the middle school, luke & i prep till school starts at 8:30. elliot walks back by himself-it's been working so far!

across from the school.
down the street from school-looking towards our home.

the daily stop for bananas & grapes! we've learned what to pay-he's learned what we won't pay!
we buy just enough for a couple days b/c it doesn't keep in the heat!
