Remember that time I uploaded a picture on here. Let's try that again, only with feeling. I have a bunch so be patient. For some reason internet cafe computer likes uploading photos more than office computer so I'm going to abuse it like a cheap whore on a tuesday. Let's start with the goods, the obligatory Great Wall photo. Due to my camera's suckiness it's not great, I'll probably snag some of Cameron's from facebook cuz his were awesome.
This is is my friend Ian. Ian is standing in front of a sign that says Houston, Texas in this park called Yuan bo yuan. He thought the sign was really cool. :-)
This is Brendon and no he did not just use that toilet that was randomly out in t
he open for public use. We don'tknow why it was there but I have been back to that spot, the toilet is now gone.
And here we have Katie making out with her newly purchased picture of Jackie Chan. China loves him and we love him, what can I say?
This is one of my favorite presents from my kids. I have no idea who gave it to me, just sort of showed up on my desk on teacher's day. It's a coke bottle filled with chalk, sand and tiny origami stars. I have the best kids.
Class 8 Grade 1, one of my smarter classes. We were attempting to make some sort of Christmas card. This was the result. CHAOS. Pshhaw it's okay we had fun that day.
More Christmas-y fun. This is one of the two kids who sits with me at lunch. His English name is Jozo. I....I don't know why. He's the one in the hat, he's hilarious and really good with computers. He's the one that installed the Counter Strike game on my computer. And in turn got in trouble for doing so. Haha!
Hahahaha, she hates this photo but I don't care. This is Katherine. I don't teach her grade but she's become a close friend on the school ground. She's a little overbearing sometimes but she's a good person. She's a good friend for being half my age.
This is going up the Great Wall. We were on some type of rollar coaster contraption. There were mirrors placed every so often so I whipped out my camera. I zoomed in on this photo and it seems that Oscar and Cameron (who are the first two people in the mirror) were doing the exact same thing.
Justin and Harry looking very bundled up in front of the gate of the Forbidden City. These are the guys that put up with me in Beijing while I put up with them talking about math and rubix cubes. We love each other.
Hey look, white person! At Tian'an men in front of the big statue that we still don't know what it was for. I look blustery.

Heeee.
Matt making friends with my guards. This one thinks that I'm his girlfriend. >.<
Matt's last day in China. Can you tell?
Guys.....uh what are you doing? I'll stop here. I'll see what I can do about getting the rest up on facebook. These are my boys (the two in blue) Xiao dong(standing) and Wang li(sitting with the baby face). I love how they're NOT working in this photo. The other guy is Xiao dong's friend from home, he's come to SZ looking for work. I forgot his name. These guys have been my source of entertainment during most of the past week. I don't know what I'm going to do when I leave I am going to miss them so damn much. I teach them bits of English and they put up with my terrible broken Chinese. They just learned the words "I kiss you" and NOT from me. Great, just what I need. In all seriousness I have such a mini crush on the little one. I mean look at him he's a button! But he's going back to hometown in a month. Lame!

Matt had such a great time....he can hardly wait to visit again, but probably for longer than a week. I'm so glad he had the opportunity to visit you. You guys share such a special bond. He is still trying to readjust to being back in "America".
Have fun, be safe, take it all in, time moves quickly.
