Big day

There is no better way to learn to drive a scooter than to be forced on to it...HA!
The day started out by shopping in the morning at a crazy craft store, 9x9, which has everything from a million types of pencils, pens, and stationary to Christmas decorations. Good thing I am not teaching here cause I might have one of everything in the store! Then Char and I went for Starbucks! I was soooo happy to find one here since I am addicted to the Christmas blend and I was scared of the withdrawl I might be going through. She dropped me back off at their place and told me the key would be under the mat....NOPE. Kaid kinda forgot to put it there.

So I get in a cab and point to where I want to go on a business card, and the cabbie can't find the place. Great! Thanks to my amazing direction skills, thanks Dad, I recognized the area and pointed the cab driver where to go. I ran inside the school grabbed the keys from Kaid and he also gave me the scooter keys.

Away I go on the mad streets driving a scooter! Ah YEAH I AM!!! It felt awesome. Now I have the day to explore even further than I can go on foot!! I just arrived back after purchasing a camera too. WHAT A DAY!

Yesterday I went to school with Kaid all day. Man do these kids have energy....WOW! They go from Chinese school all day, to English school for 2hrs, then home to do more homework....no lives! I feel horrible for these kids. Kaid tries to make his classes as much fun as possible because he knows it may be the only time in their crazy days they can have fun. I helped out a bit and really enjoyed it.....'teachah, teachah, you crazy'!

Alright, I am off to pick up Kaid, then out to watch one of his friends Mark play at a club. Stay tuned for pictures!
Ciao.
