Ben has been unable to post from his current location so with his permission I will use his lastest e-mails as a post until he can.
I am so sorry that i have been out of to-uch this last week. I have been in a small village TEACHING and neglected to bring my computer because i figured there would be no internet... which there wasn't. I am sending this email to you from Yongshuo. But I am well! Do not fret! The teaching is going well, my family is extremely welcoming and kind. I am not hungry, in fact I feel i may be gaining weight. The family that I am staying with lives in a huge three story pink house. It sticks out like a sore thumb. The rest of the village is relatively poor, but not dismally so. I hope to move to a new area soon because i am too comfortable here.
The kids are great, my fellow teachers are very kind as well. In fact everyone in china that I have met has been extremely nice.
No one speaks english in my host family, and the english teacher at the school is just a step ahead of the kids we are teaching. I get by with the chinese I have learned and the language of teh body... Its all very good and exciting! I do not know my plan, or if i will be going to a new area soon.
It is the spring festival here so there is no school until the eighth. I will be leaving for hong kong on the 14th?
I will try to blog, but I am short on time. I love you, and I apologize for your frayed nerves. Give everyone my love.
Ben
