Betta Splendens

Hello again!
Last night the other two students, Mac and Dan, arrived so Chris has been able to move out and our sitting room returned to us. It was very strange showing them a bit of Hong Kong last night... it reminded me of how long I've been here myself I suppose. Although it's only a month it feels like it could have easily been a year...especially now that I've bought a fishtank and some fish for my room... probably not a good idea because I'm only here for a few months but I'm sure I'll think of something!
I got three rummy-nose tetras and one Siamese fighting fish, bought from a specialist breeder. It took me about an hour to pick which one I wanted but in the end I went for the one that looked the most like a Chinese junk. Quite beautiful!

Working at The Early Learning Centre

Well that’s my second week of work finished and it has gone extremely fast!
There is so much constantly going on in the office that the days just fly by; always something to see or do! I’m extremely happy here!
To be honest the main reason the days go so fast is that we are working very hard. I’m just lucky that I love what we are doing so it’s no real hardship. It’s a bit like a man digging in his allotment… he might hurt his back and get sore and tired but at the end of the day he can sit in the shed with a cup of tea and look out proudly at his day’s work. Perhaps he has hoed some peas, or made a new trellis for his runner beans, or dug up some good potatoes to bring back to the wife for tea.
So that’s me. I’ve got soil under my nails but I’m glad for it.
