Toilet

Toilets in Jingshan school and around China. Actually easier to use than Western toilets. Each one has a different way to flush and this takes some time to figure out.

American students outside of Jingshan School

Our Chinese teacher took us on a field trip for lunch to a restaurant across the street so we could practice ordering in Chinese (our lesson for the week). The kids got ice cream cones at McDonalds after lunch. McDonalds is night next to the school.

My new tea mug

Kristen and I found these tea mugs for 4Y at the WuMart. You put your tea in the bottom and there is a strainer so when you drink it, you don't eat the leaves. Brilliant! I just haven't figured out what to do with the leaves when I am done. Typically they get flushed down the toilet.

Swimmers at Jingshan

The swim team at Jingshan consists of students from neighboring schools in addition to Jingshan. Jingshan has a 50 m pool. Most of the swimmers are under 12. The older students have to study for their college entrance exams, so they don't always come to practice.
