these girls were specially chosen (& 3 boys unseen) to be "rock stars" during "dancin' in the streets". for obvious reasons!
now that's just plain adorable. his teacher/i bribed him before pics to get a nice smile w/o clowning around!
my good, best friend here at our school-carla, & her art teacher/musician hubby who teaches luke drums. she could be the music teacher too!

elliot's class during science
this guy saw us, ran in to pull out whatever he could sell...we bought $3 worth of junk just to improve his situation:( these villagers work so hard w/ so little comfort or pleasure.
was truly an experience to be here.

Tracy & girlfriend Emma (her 1st day on the job). they went to college together & are now working at this super yummy Hostel International cafe (great pesto, homemade yogurt...)
to mingle w/ foreigners. we ate here like 4 times! so many young people dream of being "international", so they feel lucky. ian gave him a track booklet & dual-language new testament. he says he's very curious.
this is the 12th (we believe) life-long chinese connection we've made in 9 months.
they look at us like we have it all: successful careers (if they only knew the real story!), happy family (again...), international travelers (& again!...). we try to tell as often as we can the real reason for satisfaction & contentment: just passing through here on our way to our eternal home, telling others as we go...

a great breakfast at Kelly's Cafe. Typical western food feeding 3 adult + 1 child bodies for about $10US. we loved this town for food-1/2 as much as shekou!
elliot loved these green-tea, taro-filled things. very chewy & sweet.
he had 3 & wanted more! only 1Yuan (like 10 cents)
just to show the difference b/n the rich & poor dwellings.
love to know what this one does for a living!
