I'm b-b-b-b-ack!It was nice to let Michelle take over for once, and once is all I'm letting her. This blog is mine!!! (For all you fans of Michelle's last posting on this blogsite...I'm kidding!).
But anyway - I'm back in the driver's seat of 'A YEAR IN CHINA' and ready to cough up all the latest goss from the land of anything goes. Michelle, by the way, is almost fully recovered from her horse-fall, so now that the pain has eased and the nightmares are over (get it? night- mares...hehe...that was lame...), I'll show you some photos of Michelle on that frightful day.
So yes, she was riding like a pro until the horse decided a pro was too much pressure to live up to and decided to try a quick 360. Unfortunately Michelle only completed a 180.
But overall it was a weekend to remember. I was born for the country life!
Some more news: Michelle has started selling our greeting cards at her work - on the first day she sold 30, and got an order for 30 more! And the future looks bright. Raving reviews and marketing suggestions are already coming in. We'll keep you posted.
Work has been going well for both of us. I have two weeks remaining with my current classes and I'll be sure to miss them. They've been great students and we've had lots of fun together. Every Friday we've had sporting competitions between the two classes and amongst all the fun n' games, I almost forget I've left youth work and am living and working in China. Then there's the opportunities that keep presenting themselves to guide and point the way to any student that asks - questions about life, the universe and everything. Love it.
(That's chalk in my hand in case you're wondering!)
After these classes wrap up, I've only recently learned that I'll have to start looking for another job as there's not enough work to keep us teachers going at this particular company, which is a pity, but I'm sure something will turn up. If you're the praying type, keep me in mind ay.
In two weeks my parents are coming to China for a holiday and will be with us for 2 weeks before venturing off into the rest of China. We'll be joining them for a short trip to Xian to see the Terracotta Warriors and the Huashan mountains. We can't wait -it'll also be a nice holiday for us! 
This is China
Dig it.

Hey Peej & Michelle,
just read the latest updates, sounds like things are going well, especially with the greeting cards!!! Top job you two!
Matt and I have flights booked between Adel and Melb till Christmas so that we see each other every 2 weeks... so so far the long-er-distance thing is working ok. We went for a big hike with Emma H., Tom (u don't know) and Bek C. last wkend at Deep Creek, such beautiful country.
Cool to hear PJ's parents are coming over too and I'll keep PJ's job prospects in my prayers! (cos I am the praying type ;-) )
