Old Taipa

Well, this week has gone by quickly and it is already the weekend. I had a chance to spend some time in my classroom working on tiding it up and getting organized. However, I feel like I have a ton of work to do to prepare to teach. The first day of school is coming very quickly. I can't believe that the students will soon be filling up the hallways and classrooms.

This is a photo of a restaurant sign in my neighborhood. I thought it was an interesting sign. I walk past here everyday on my way home from school. It is about a 30 minute walk to school from my apt so this week I have been trying to walk to school. Once school starts I will probably have to take the bus so I can be there a little earlier.

I have finally won my battle with jet leg which is nice. Now I just have to get use to this heat and I have to get better at drinking more water. I am still getting use to the humidity. It ranges from 80-90% which is crazy. Basically you are just always sweating - non-stop. So I usually pack a second outfit to change into. It is fun to pick out 2 outfits to wear each day!
