Today marked the beginning of the second half of the 2010 America Bridges china summer camp. We went through the normal morning routine, and headed off to Qiao Qi. To our surprise, several classes had new students, who had not been present for the previous two weeks. As far as I could tell, the teachers made the necessary changes and helped make the new kids feel welcome. Upon approaching the final week, each group started to think about the final project. Every year, each class puts on a song, skit, or other type of performance to demonstrate the progress they have made learning English. As it usually takes at least a week to rehearse this, we are starting to think about what kind of show we want to put on.
After school, we went to a local farm and ate lunch. Some of us went fishing while others rested. Nobody caught any fish. We returned to the hotel, and some of us went shopping at a new bakery we found several blocks from the hotel. At 6 PM, we ate a filling dinner, ordered by Max, Megan and Molly. We then returned to our respective rooms, where we will soon head off to sleep and rest up for another day of teaching.
