Summer camps and Hangzhou

So here i am in Hangzhou, possibly the most beautiful place on earth. Absolutely loving it, the west lake is amazing I go there everyday. Maybe i should explain my presence in the Leisure mecca of China.

Well as you all know I've been in Haerbin teaching for some time, kinda got a bit bored of it so when the opportunity arose to leave and do a summer camp (2 week program, 3.5 hrs a days, sundays off, 4 star hotel accom and meals all paid, around $1000 Aus . Very nice arrangment) i jumpoed at it, told a few fibs to my school and off i went. Caught a plane down to Hangzhou, as i left it too late for train ticket, and caught the school chartered coach to Cixi that day.

Great bunch of people to work with, around 20 foreigners mostly canadians witha few poms, yanks scotts and Aussies thrown in there, even a guy from hungry. Real good fun, and astoundingly easy work too. Most of the time we were doing 'Cultural; activities' like christmas and such, cut and paste, colouring in etc with a few Chrissy carols to sign. Pretty much just two weeks of supervision with a little vocab taugh here or there.

Heres a few photos of my wonderful class

And there I was in Cixi, a very small town but also very rich, good clubs and a good time in general, though it was so FRIKKIN hot! Finished up the camp and caught the bus back to Hangzhou.

So then, all ready to come back to Haerbin, i get a call from my recruiter saying theres another summer camp going on the 30th of july, little less cash but also less time. With the good times from the last hos could i possible say no.

As i ended my last camp on the 20th, and my next started on hte 30th, i had a ten day layover in Hangzhou.. a bit of a chance to klick up my heels and relax, see a little of the beautiful area and buy some gifts for those lucky campers who will receive them.

Like i said earlier, Hangzhou is absolutely gorgeous, so ill add some photos for you.

Thoguht these were pretty awesome

Well thats all, im sure everyone has given up on this as i have been so UNBELEIVABLY lazy in keeping it updated but ill try and be better i promise!

Take care guys hope your all happy and well.
