Another day in Paradise.
Today was a wonderful day for me. It started off with a great class in the morning. I was fully engaged in teaching my students, they are one of my good class. I felt energized and ready to take on the day.
Todays class
Later in the evening, I had dinner with some fine students who I met in the canteen as part of daily routine to make new friends. During the meal, I invited them to attend an English corner, an informal gathering where we can practice speaking English. They eagerly agreed to come and I was excited to spend more time with them.
English Corner
We had a few students attend the English corner, but that didn't stop us from having a great conversation. We discussed various topics, from travel to food to also been lonely sometimes. We even took some photos to capture the fun moments. I just don’t understand why not more students attend such a great activity.
After the English corner (we finished earlier than expected) , I was pleasantly surprised when someone invited me to play table tennis. I couldn't resist, and it was a great way to do continue the night, here in china it seems that everybody plays that sport very well, after all it is a national sport here.
Once the game was over, I decided to head to the playground to meet more students as the last part of my day. I enjoyed talking to some more students, did participate on some karaoke and games, did even win a ted bear. It was a great way to bond with them and make new friends.
Overall, it was a fulfilling day filled with great conversation, fun activities, and new connections. I'm grateful for the experiences and memories that were made. For me as always, it was anther day in paradise. I cant get tired of saying, I love my job here.
