Junk Boats and Students!

Hello Everyone!

I finally have more pictures to share. Brett and I headed out with my co-workers

yesterday on a "Junk Boat" ride. This wasn't really an old fashioned junk boat- like you'd see if you google imaged search the term. It was more like a yacht- well, two yachts. We buzzed off the coast of Sai Kung, in the north eastern corner of the new territories, to a small cove, where we tied up to the other boat- allow

ing everyone to move between the two. Activities commenced immediately. There were two small speed boats designated for shuttling people to a nearby beach and for wake boarding

and banana boat rides. Banana Boats are near-exactly as they s

ound. It's an inflated boat in the shape of a banana. Much like tubing, the banana is dragged from the back of a boat while three people hang on for dear life. Brett and I decided that we'd try for wake boarding...

Being his super-cool self, Brettpulled out his phone and downloaded "how to wake board" videos from YOUTUBE (aint technology great?!) to prep us for the excursion. Leslie Heller, I wish you had been there to see me! I got up on a wake board for the first time in my life. Granted, it was probably about 10 seconds

long and it took me three failed attempts first, BUT I DID IT. The speedboat-full of people watching must have thought I was totally insane. I was extremely awkward, I'm sure- but more importantly, as I got up on the board, they all started screaming in excitement. As I was pulled back onto the boat, they told me I screamed right along with them.

Check out the sun beginning to set as we made our way back to the pier.

Below also find: Brett getting

back from a run. Can you see the line of sw

eat on his shirt!? WOAH. This place makes one sweat like mad.

Also, there is one of our office trying to make medical masks fun and inviting (perhaps beside the point when getting that close?!)...

Vanessa....for you~ a few of me with the students at one of our schools. I was hosting group interviews for the EAT or "English Ambassador Teams" - SO FUN.
