Hi Guys,
Alright, as promised, here are some pics of our school's new campus where we have the pleasure and privlege of working this year. The skies are sunny again in blogger-land, permitting me to post pics today; tomorrow I might not be so lucky... so better get 'er done now! Enjoy:
An overview of our office. There are 12 desks/teachers in here and it's lots of fun!
A close-up of our area. Andrew's desk is on the left (where he's sitting), and mine is on the right (the empty chair). We are desk-mates and it is so nice! We even share a stapler! 
Our wing of the building... we are on the 4th floor.
The open-concept hallways. This is right outside our teachers' office. Looks nice, eh?!
In the school cafeteria. Ash couldn't manage to eat with chopsticks at first, so he used one of our carrot-sticks as a spoon... it was pretty funny! 
The very front of the school (the administration building)... this is the very first thing you see when you come thru the school gates. I hope they're gonna put some sort of sign in that big empty space, b/c it looks a bit weird I think.A few interesting facts about our school:
-teachers get free breakfasts and lunches in the caf every day... we haven't ventured to try the conchee (watery rice porridge) in the morning, but lunches are okay... beggars can't be choosers!
-b/c the principals are SO freaked out about the kids and staff getting swine flu, they've decided to issue ALL staff a daily vitamin C pill, plus all-you-can-drink milk all year long... very nice of them!
-the school is right across the street from a few different hospitals
-the guy who hands out the PE equipment (yes, that's a job here) is a chain-smoker. He gives the kids basketballs while a smouldering cigarette is dangling from his lips... gross!
-every morning as we come thru the school gates we get our temperature taken by a student moniter who holds this gun-type-thing up to our forehead. Not sure if they let you in if you have a temp, but so far we haven't had to find out! Again, it's a swine-flu thing.
That's it for now...
~Ciao

Our school got swine flu, and they blamed it on our international students...well some of our students were the ones that brought it. Quite the ordeal and interesting to watch a school respond to.
What does milk have to do with preventing swine flu? I'm glad they are choosing vitamin c rather than mandatory vaccines.
