this was their Science play: Geology Rocks!
Elliot actually sang, acted, & did a great job! his whole class was 100% involved. they could either learn their unit like this or by traditional methods. they picked this.

he's a fern, but doing the volcanic song.

the boys in his class are unusually good singers. super loud & always on pitch!

these are inside our "western" type mall. same as any of ours

walmart at chinese new year. the prices are 6.7 x more than ours

my sunday school helpers. i teach once/month.
they love my crazy style of teaching! (i think!)

he actually asked if i could take some pics of him. here he's my angel.

john (the guy) wanted a pic in front of our kitchen artwork.

some friends from church.

not the greatest pic, i know, but to see the view from "Nanshan" mtn, a hike beg. like 3 blocks from our apt. not mtn like colorado, but still quite a hike.
our bldg. is the middle tall tower you see in the foreground. (bottom)

a lookout tower.

another of essentially the same view.
the white stick in the background is actually the bridge across the bay into hong kong territory.

the "hike" was really a step class outdoors. it was literally like 1000 steps to the top. many women were actually wearing heels-no problem! me, i'm huffing/puffing...

"Hakka" dwellings. these people lived where we live today.

limestone peaks of Guilin, where i want to go on our next excursion.
the most famous chinese scenery.
