School Days

This is post for all my former students at BCS. Here at QSI Shekou, the senior high school students go to school from 8:30am to 4pm. Each student has eight subjects but they only go to half of them on most days. That's four classes Monday and the other four on Tuesday and then the same routine Wednesday and Thursday. The kicker is that each class period is ninety minutes long. That is a long time to be in one class! Friday is the only day they go to all eight classes for 45 minutes each.

Hope this works and you can view this video.

First Day of School


Here is a picture of a class from my (Roy) first day of school. Actually, it's technically the second day, because all the students did on the first day was get their schedules, books, lockers, etc.

Strange Food

Had a first today- ate camel meat. We went to a Brazilian barbecue restaurant and they brought different roasted meats to our table. Most of it was beef, pork, and chicken, but camel was the unique one. The food was great, but the camel was a bit gamey tasting. Sorry no picture since I forgot my camera.

Reunion


Our friend Maureen just got into town last night, so today we took her out to see Shekou. Maureen worked with us in Tbilisi, Republic of Georgia but we haven't seen her in three years, so it's been great catching up.
Maureen is the one waving and saying nee how (hello) to everybody.
