I’ve been told that it’s started snowing back home. I don’t think I’ll see any snow this year (all though it’s a possibility), but I can promise you it’s cold here! It’s almost as cold inside as outside, and today it’s 6 degrees Celsius outside.. Might be you think it’s not that cold, but it becomes something completly different as soon as it’s not warm anymore when you step inside. To put it this way; we really appreciate the hot water bottles we bought last week. Note to oneself though; Don’t fall asleep with a newly filled hot water bottle lying against any part of your body. You will get a burn! I have two..
Today we’re traveling to Nanjing, spending the entire weekend there. Yes, it’s only within an hour away from Lishui, but we’ve been invited to participate in the regional Amity teachers conferance, so this weekend we’re staying in a hotel. During the coming week Monica (one of our teachers at Hald) is coming to visit us, and is taking us to Shanghai during the weekend, so we’re having two weekends in hotels in a row. Sweet luxury..! We’re looking forward to experiencing even more new things, and I’m not neccessarily talking about the hotel part of it.
No, I’m too cold to sit here any longer. We’ve taught the other teachers in our office the chicken dance, so I’m going to dance a little to warm up before I’m off for my only class today..!
Last, but not least, there’s one thing I want to do before traveling!
Happy birthday, sis! Hope you’ll have a great day, and that you like the gift I left you! Love you!

Tasha! Håper alt står bra til i folkerepublikken! spennende å lese blogg, men jeg har en liten request…jeg sendte deg en mail for en stund siden, men med tanke på innholdet er jeg ganske sikker på at du ikke har fått den, for da tror jeg du hadde svart… kunne du nevnt i en post hvordan det er mulig å få kontakt med deg utenom å sende brev (jeg hadde gått tom for papir hvis jeg skulle sendt deg alle oppdateringene i posten. myndighetene i kina hadde trodd vi planla et kupp og konfiskert hele papirrullen.)
Kan riktignok poste en ekstremt lang kommentar her, men føle rmeg ikke heeelt komfortabel med det selv om kommentarer foreløpig ikke lar seg publisere for alle å se… du kjenner min tendens til å ha… skråblikk og kommentarer til ting, så jeg tenkte det var greiere med en mail eller noe. så hvis du har en mail eller en hemmelig måte å få sjekka facebook meldinger eller nettby eller noe annet lurt så hadde jeg satt stor pris på å få vite det, for det skjer så mye her at jeg tror du bør få oppdateringene gradvis og ikke i en stor sjokkerende haug sånn at du må sjukemelde deg for traumer når du kommer hjem i mars! snax, lots of luv – E

Glad to read you’re doing fine! If it helps any, it’s pretty cold and wet here up north as well. I’ve danced the chicken dance myself! I think you’re lucky if you don’t have any snow, though. Snow has its own way to make things more difficult!
God bless!
