Our Chinese friends are like 15 year olds when it comes to cell phones

This Week's TIC!

I have a few new funny and crazy Chinese moments to share with you guys! 

This is a bowl of soup that we ate for lunch. Looks pretty non-intimidating right? Well that brown stuff in the soup is actually pig blood that is solidified and served up! It's supposedly good for your lungs so that's why they serve it. 

This photo was taken on a trip to the supermarket to pick up some groceries. These live toads are available to purchase. Frog stew anyone?

This was a dish that we had for lunch on Friday. Notice the fish head (one of many) on my plate..yummmmmmm

A mandatory part of every Chinese students daily routine at school includes doing routine exercises twice each day. The students march out to the playground and stand in perfectly straight lines and do their exercises. This pictures is of hundreds of Chinese kids aged 6-10 lining up for exercises

This is China

Here are this weeks whacky and picture worthy moments in Changsha...hope you get a good laugh!

This one comes straight out of an English textbook geared towards grade 3-5 students... no joke!

 We went to an agricultural exhibition on Friday which featured fruit, nuts, tea, and meat from Hunan province and some neighbouring provinces as well. Needless to say the meat was the most entertaining thing on display. 

mmmmm chicken

Get your chicken!

pork anyone?

Hotel rooms in China supply tea kettles instead of coffee makers..note to self don't make coffee in them!

Some great Chinglish on a toiletpaper dispenser in Beijing

These two beers cost me the equivalent of $1CDN..gotta love exchange rates!

This is the toilets at Tian Hua where I teach. When standing, the stall only covers you up to just below your chest and it is very easy to look over the stall. Can you say lack of privacy? Wait, what's privacy?
