Oh MY goodness. Yes.

Conversation that took place in class today:

Me: "Once upon a time..."
Leo: "Teacha Sarah! Teacha, teacha, teacha!"
Me: Leo! Shhhhh.
(Assuming he would just stop talking and listen)
Leo: [whispering] "Teacha Sarah. Teacha, teacha, teacha."

Hahahah! These children are hysterical. I love them.

There is a heinous smell coming from our bathroom recently that is kind of unbearable. Jilly and I think it's coming from the pipes which happen to be located right there close to our bathroom. It's not always there though, it will just come every now and then at random times and it is horrific, because we are then left with no other choice than to saturate the air with lysol spray which really doesn't smell incredibly pleasing either, but better nonetheless.

I think I have a little crush on a Chinese guy. Yeah, I do. Maybe even a big one. But not really. He is a teacher at Kaiyin and he is quite handsome (he has glasses, and there really cute on him). I mostly really like the way he interacts with the children, and how he walks with his hands in his pockets, and his happy eyes, his friendly but suuuper shy smile, the way he holds his bag, and just the way he carries himself. His mannerisms. He's adorable :) So we're not supposed to have romantic relationships while we're here... that's part of the contract. Walking home from dinner today we were talking with our head teacher Jillian about this and we came to the conclusion that it wouldn't be breaking the rules to kiss a Chinese guy. ILP forbids romantic relationships but they are all game for having unique cultural experiences. So we concluded, that kissing an Asian would be the ultimate cultural experience. I think everyone who travels abroad should be able to experience that. Wo bu zhi dao. I'm just sayin'. :)
