Rosie!

I met one of my mom's friends, Rosie, today. She's going to be my Chinese tutor! She's probably one of the nicest people I have ever met. I'm going to see her once a week for now, and then hopefully more often when the summer comes. We had a basic conversation in Mandarin and she judged me on my fantastic chopsticks skills. I'm glad to say, I will be completely able and ready to eat when I get to Taiwan! Something new I learned:
Canada = Jiā ná dà (加拿大)
Wǒ cóng jiā ná dà lái. (I come from Canada)

Anto gave me a gift!

More Northbay

This is Ryan! He's the new guy; headed to Thailand. Asia buddies, yay! If you want to see a lot of silly pictures of me and Anto, as well as other students, go to this link:

Northbay Information Weekend

Pfffffffft. Exchange students are most definately not crazy. That's Antonella, the Sudbury and Sunriser's inbound from Argentina. She goes to my school, she sleeps at my house, I sleep at her host house, and I sort of kind of love her. This picture was taken right before the information weekend in Northbay, ON for outbounds. She tagged along to see everyone again and it was plenty of fun!

The information weekend in Northbay is this weekend. I'm excited to see all of the other outbounds again!

Still going at it

I've been a little bit busy lately with school and such so I've been neglecting my language training. But I'm back into it now! I learned the 9 important question words yesterday haha.
