We stayed in Taiwan for a week at a lovely school in Yilan district in the countryside. It is a nice school from Kindy to class 10 and it is double streamed. Apparently that is a small school for Taiwan. There was a beautiful landscape and very lovely people who gave us lots of food!!

Yesterday we flew from Taipei to Guangzhou in China. It took us 1 hour on the bus to drive into the city. Nearly the whole time we were driving there were high – rise buildings as far as you could see. The school was next to all these high – rise buildings which was very different to the school in Taiwan.

We are currently staying in a 33 storey building on the 5th floor. Surprisingly our host gave us two rooms even though the apartment was so small. It was exciting to try all these different foods. Luckily we said we were vegetarian so I didn’t have to eat stuff like dog or cat! We had things like rice, noodles and vegetables for dinner, breakfast and lunch and fruit and pineapple cake for morning tea.

We will stay in Guangzhou for a week then we will fly to Chengdu which is further north than Guangzhou. That’s good because that means it will be less and

humid. It is boiling hot here. We have to have the fan and the air conditioning on all night.
