Well I am now entering my final week in Hong Kong... you would think I would have navigating this city under control, but apparently I don't. I am losing track of the amount of times I have gotten lost this week. I think the total may be up to 5 by now. Although let me clear, I have always been fully confident that I could get home, I just have been slightly less confident on where my final destination was. I think it is mostly due to the fact that we have been getting riskier in our methods of transportation. Towards the beginning of the trip we would play it safe and generally just stick to the subway which is super easy to navigate, but now we are branching out and trying buses and cabs and such and it is just ending badly. It is always a fun experience though, very adventurous, and when we find our way again, very accomplished.
Other than getting lost, I have been extremely busy with teaching and lesson planning. This past week was probably the busiest week yet, and this week should be exactly the same if not busier because it is our last week and we will be trying to cram as much fun in on top of all our work as possible. I'm excited and I am anticipating not a lot of sleep. You're only in Hong Kong once right? Maybe not.
My class is crazy. Friday was my best day yet, everything I had planned went incredibly smoothly, the kids were interested and even quiet sometimes! Today, not so much. Today was basically a disaster. At one point I just gave up and sat at my desk playing music while the kids through paper airplanes across the class. I regained control somewhat after that, but it was so overwhelming. I have what I think is a great idea for tomorrow and the next day, so pray that things go a little better than they did today.
Also, as it is my last week in HK, if anybody has any requests that they would like me to pick up while I'm here you should definitely speak now or forever hold your peace.
Random side note: I am sitting in the common room now with Rebecca because we are done teaching for the day and she is on Facebook. She made the hilarious observation that all our "People You May Know" on Facebook are Chinese. I would call that a successful summer.
