Xining to Shanghai - Going Out with a Bang!

Cindy here with one last report from the Xining team- as usual, the internet is hard to track down and our days are busy. Right now I am crouched in Jason and Laura's room on our 1 yuan a minute internet with the china/usa basketball game playing in the background - in Chinese, of course. Let's go back to the last days of camp....

Exciting Events in Xining

We hit the ground running, after a weekend of touring and shopping. Monday night we had a talent show put on by the students and Americans. It was a lot of fun watching the students perform. We enjoyed acts that included singing, Tibetan dancing, skits and a crazy magic show put on by Josh and Jordan.


Live from Xining.......English Camp - Woo hooooooo

Hello American Friends!


Rain, rain, go away!

It has been raining here since Wednesday. It has made getting to the classroom as little more challenging. We are climbing through a fence and walking through some mud several times a day.
Our challenge night went well despite the rain. The cup stacking games was the hit of the night.


Tuesday's Shout Outs!

Hi, we safely arrived in Xining. The altitude is 8000ft. above sea level. I expected to have headaches, but have had none so far-PTL! Miss you all! Keep doing what you do best. Thanks! See you soon.

Love from Cindy and the Ohio Team-


Smooth Sailing in Xining

Our first two days of classes has gone very smooth. Everyone is having a great time.

On Monday evening we attended a banquet given by our gracious hosts. It was a delightful meal which ended with singing from both the Chinese and the Americans. The song that brought down the house was sung by Jason and Kyle. They dedicated the song to Cindy. It was a great time of getting to know each other.
