Meet Jacqueline (student) and Alice (volunteer). Here the roles have switched to where the student has become the teacher. Jacqueline was helping Alice learn piano this morning. Each student and domestic volunteer is given or gets to pick an English name when they come to GFC. I met a cute couple today whose English names were Misery and Sunshine. Misery is the guy and Sunshine is the girl; they wouldn't allow me to take a picture of them.
Today Ben, Xing, and myself took a trip to HuiShui, the closest city about 30 minutes drive, to eat lunch. We had hotpot. It wasn't the best idea since the heat today along with the spicy soup base made us sweat more than the devil's armpit. However, it did taste amazing. GuiZhou province has a lot of hot pots, stews, and a lot of noodle soups.
This is a normal thing in China, but I had to take a picture of this family.
Sunday evening relaxation. Students enjoy the soccer turf and track this evening.
The last two characters on this sign says "dog meat". HuiShui is famous for its dog meat dishes. Some of the volunteers like it, some don't, and some haven't tried. I am among those who haven't tried. Not yet at least.

Nooooo! Don't go to the dark side! No dog meat. Think of Apollo, and Mystery, and JinBao and Foodling.
ReplyDeleteThe Hot Pot looks great, though. Nice of Ben to take you under his wing!
Funny about Misery and Sunshine. I'd have never guessed the guy would be 'Misery.' ;)
Further translation from your grandfather, on that sign:
