TeamWaWa and their crazy adventures

Hello and good bye! These greetings are more than words on a screen. Sure, you might say HI to someone in the same checkout line or bus stop. But, when you say it to a friend or family member it means so much more. Being an expat in China, you see many other foreigners come and go. There are some "lifers" but mostly it seems 1-2 years is the norm. We've been in China for over 9 months. In that time, we've personally known 7 people who have come and gone. It's bittersweet. But, the highlights are the going away parties. Cheers to Tas and Thom. May your next adventure be just as fun!

Happy Teacher's Day 9/2017! I remember bringing my Teacher's an apple or a handmade card as a token of appreciation. I never imagined I'd be on the receiving end. It was Teacher's Day this weekend, and the students' showed their love. It was so touching to receive the flowers, cards, and chocolates.  Kids said "Happy Teacher's Day" and even gave hugs. To all our former Teacher's: Thank you for all your patience and encouragement. Happy Teacher's Day! #wefeelloved #eslteachingmoments

Having lived in Georgia prior to moving overseas, we know a lot of people that were impacted by Hurricane Irma. We have family in Florida (which thankfully we can say were unharmed), family in South Carolina, and many friends in Georgia.  It is a testament to the strength of the storm for it to close down businesses in North Georgia, where we used to live.  So, to all of those we know and to all of those who were in the path of Irma, please be safe and we wish you a speedy recovery. Our thoughts and prayers are with you.
