Frog
We have just been training again today, not much news but I took a few pictures which i hope to get up here soon. Robyn is sharing a room at the hostel with a girl called Nicki who is teaching primary school kids. The kids when they are young are either allowed to pick their own English names or they are given them by their parents. Letting a kid choose their own name provides the most hilarious results, so far she has had quite a few kids called 'Kinky', quite a few with old names like 'Trevor' or 'Alfred' and one little lad called 'Frog'. We found a great Veggie/chinese place two days ago for Robyn, and since have found a few more. I have only had one bad stomach experience so far sampling the local cuisine. This was not helped the next day when I decided to try octopus balls. Below is a spy type shot of the offending establishment.
I didn't know octopusses had balls! Anyway we're off to Leeds. Have a good weekend. Glad to hear your eating well! Love Dad/Dave & Sam x ps www.wannasurf.com has a few surfspots with pictures on the south-east of HK Island.
seems as if your having fun in asia. The kids are propably well off with you being their teacher, because you may take some experiences from Camp Glenwood to Hong Kong.
