Today, on June 18th we have experienced a traumatic event
Some of us have eaten, cockroaches.

We have  visited a Chinese high school, There school has bridges… And Larkhall academy has a zebra crossing!
It was a very educational experience, we learned how hard the kids have to work, they start their day at 7:40am and finish at 11 at night
We struggle to get out of our bed at 8!

However, on a serious note.
We met Jins parents tonight Continue reading Messages from the pupils →

Some of you will have seen on the news headlines that there has been an earthquake in China. Please be assured that we are nowhere near it and are in no danger.

We are all having a great time. Presently we are having a little rest before heading out to learn the art of paper cutting then Jin’s parents house for tea and watermelon.

What a fantastic day we’ve all had today.

After breakfast, we got the bus to Mount Tai which is north of the city of Tai’an, in the Shandong province of China.

We had a breathtaking cable car ride up the mountain before walking the rest of the way to the summit. The top of the mountain had some of the most fantastic views we have ever seen and the kids were so proud that they all made it to the very top!

Lunch was a buffet at the top of the mountain before we got the cable car back down and commenced our drive to our next destination – Zhucheng City.

We checked into hotel number 3 and had a fab dinner here with more than 10 different options to choose from, including a very random plate of toast…

Bed time now before another full day of activities tomorrow.
