Turning Chinese...

Isn't that how the song goes?

Regardless, I have been feeling a bit more assimilated lately. I have a few Chinese friends and am getting by a bit better with the language barrier. I think I might have progressed from feeling like a one year old when I communicate to feeling like a two year old...now I can be a terrible two again!

Yes, that is my tshirt drenched in sweat, and yes, those are my basketball shorts from grade 11!!!

May is a teacher at my school. Her English is excellent and she is a lot of fun. She took me to play badminton the other night. She is sooo good! I dont think I embarrassed myself too badly although it is nothing like squash and I was using all squash techniques. It helped a bit but it will probably be better in the long run for me to try to hit it like a birdie and not try to smoke it like squash ball. My butt is so sore today! I was doing a lot of diving and I think the only thing that  kept me in the game at all was pure athletic ability and a slight amount of fitness. Although I could use a lot more of both if I ever want to keep up with May! We are going to try to play every monday and thursday night so maybe by my year stint I will get a point or two off her.

These goofs were smoking while they played badminton beside us... very Chinese.

And look! The best friggin Chenglish I have ever seen!
