After the Winter Course 2005
We’d just finished winter course and had some travel arranged … we took off for Hainan. Hainan is in the south of China. Actually a tropical island. We spent our time in Sanya, Xinlong and Haiko A few of us even managed to scuba dive I did well until I came to the edge of the reef and was staring into the abyss As a place to vacation It’s warm. It’s beautiful and it was relaxing. It’s also very inexpensive It was the first time for our little boy,Wyatt, to play in the sand. At first he cried and then he did not want to leave. I think most of our teachers and staff felt the same way. Jiji really loved playing in the ocean. She was always surrounded by adults The island is beautiful. At least three times a day someone suggested that we open a school and stay in Sanya. Today we’ll return to the office. We are now in Hunan Province The city,Changsha, is bigger than Surabaya but has less visible nightlife. I suspect there’s a whole lot of nightlife,but haven’t ventured out As you may know,Emily and I have a son now Wyatt was born on March 29th,here in Changsha Jiji is attending a kindergarten here and her Chinese is very good now Grace studied Chinese the year before and is now working at EF as an assistant We returned. It wasn’t too painful. This trip might have been the reason we decided to return to Indonesia and open our TEFL certification course.
