It's over! With one final run we have accomplished our task in Beijing and we head for the States tomorrow night. The teachers are headed for their various universities in many provinces and their kids are ready to go. We've eaten our last noodles and made our last trip to the WuMart to buy Chinese yogert. In forty-eight hours we will be able to say "hello" instead of "ni hao", and "good-bye" rather than "zai jian". I can pay "ten bucks" instead of ""she Yuan", and ask for "to go" rather than "did zien".
It was a hectic week and even crazier weekend. Kids keep you young in spirit, but they tend to kill the body. But what a great group of kids we have had the pleasure of meeting, not to mention their parents and the many Chinese friends we have made. I'm looking very forward to getting home, but there's always a piece of me that stays here and gets a little stronger everytime I come.
There are many things that I would like to tell you that haven't been said, so don't consider this the final blog. Check back later. The pictures are of our "Tweens" group as they finally maxed out and the final combined Tweens and Pre-school/Primary.
See you in the U.S.
zai jain..... er .... I mean "bye",
