If this works well, maybe you'll see us singing.

Today we are going to try something new, attaching video....

This one isn't much, just a film of the kids exercising taken from our balcony. We find it funny because of the music they are exercising to, we hope that you can hear it.


That's right, it's "Jingle Bells". We know that in the States it's time for Christmas music to start being played, but actually here in China you'll hear this year round. You will also hear Chinese songs sung to all sorts of Christmas tunes.

More with the music, on any normal day that you are walking you will suddenly hear a musical tune on the street and think, well at least I do, "Ohh, an ice cream truck". It's not an ice cream truck, it's a water truck that just drives around and sprays down the streets. These trucks play the "Happy Birthday" theme.

Other than that, it's been a relatively quiet week. Tina cramming for her exams and then doing well enough to ruin the grade curve for the rest of the class, and I've just been doing my normal work and trying to stay out of the way of our little student...

And to finish, here is a photo that we took at dusk a while ago. The sky had this really strange purple color to it....
