We had our Chinese lesson today and we learned a lot of new words. Nate is a pro at saying Chinese words and I'm doing good at writing the characters. I have to work a bit harder to get the correct tones. Writing is coming along nicely too.
Yesterday Chuck and I went out with Johnny and had breakfast at KFC and then went to Dashang Market to price some things for Christmas. We also had to go to see Qi Yan who had her little girl hand me a card that was sent. Mail from the states gets here in roughly a month's time and the card was a birthday card for Nate. On our way to get the mail, we rode past some Chinese students getting ready for some Cosplay. What stopped us was the girl with blue hair that Chuck saw. He wanted to find out what was up. Later that night we were taken to a Tae Kwon Do class that we are going to enroll Nate in. Of course since the lessons are in Chinese he will get much better faster with spoken Chinese and I'm okay with that, we are looking at this as a way for him to meet kids his own age too.
It feels like 19 degrees Fahrenheit outside staying in the house for the night. I did get some Christmas Shopping done today and we will finish up tomorrow morning.
Looking forward to playing with Nate on the 25th for the Christmas Party that some of my students are throwing.
