August 17 Photos from my vacationHey guys, Sorry for making you wait so long... it takes a loooong time to upload photos onto the blog. Plus I have had a bad cold recently. But I'm feeling better now, and I just finished uploading the photos from my trip to Guilin and Yangshuo. Take a look! I had a great time on my vacation. I spent most of the time in Yangshuo, where I stayed in a comfortable guest house with a beautiful view of the mountains. I also went kayaking in the Li river, rock climbing, and swimming in the Yulong river. So I spent half the time doing outdoor sports and half the time relaxing in bed. Now it's nice to be back in Shanghai with you students! Best, Jay P.S. I will put a video of my trip on the blog soon! August 16 Back from the exciting beach party!!!Hello everyone! We are back from the Beach Party!
It's a shame that most of you didn't go,because it was really fun! In the pool, the man-made waves made me feel like I was back in the ocean; on the beach, people built castles with sand, buried themselves in the sand, or just relaxed on the chairs; the slides looked exciting and scary, but we still couldn't help going up and letting ourselves scream out as we slid down; also there was a beach volleyball court, where Brian finally got to play beach volleyball...
But, for me, the most exciting part was the storm, which came to the beach all of a sudden! The rain was pouring, and there were so many flashes of lightening and accompanying thunder. We were wet, cold, hungry, and scared... It was almost the same as the scenes in American disaster movies. I thought I would die there, but what made me feel better was that I was with so many good friends;-P Luckily, all of us are still alive, and we had a great time there!
Well, if you were not there, don't feel bad. There will be lots of opportunities in the future. Next time, please join us and have fun together!
Lindsay August 13 Last minute notice...Jay, Lindsay, Robin, Jacky (SSA) and I are going to the Dino Beach Life Club beach party tomorrow. We hope to see you there!! Sorry we couldn't give y'all more time, but we didn't decide to go until the last minute either. Personally, I hope to play as much beach volleyball as I can! Its one of the only sports I play, and I absolutely love it!  See you there!! Brian August 12 Video: Last weeks partyHere's a video from last week's Olympic
Ceremony Party. This was your reaction when China's team was being introduced. http://www.youtube.com/v/xrQpXTSLKas I have to say one of my favorite moments was Big Yao leading the way, carrying the Chinese flag in one hand. What an awesome sight! What's your favorite Olympic moment so far? Check it out! Bt August 08 Hello from Yangshuo! Hey everybody, remember me?! I'm still on my holiday right now in Yangshuo, but I have to come to the blog because I miss you guys too much! Let me tell you a little about my trip... I went to Guilin on Sunday night, and because of the bad weather in Shanghai, my flight was delayed for 3 hours. I arrived at my hotel in Guilin at 3am! I stayed in Guilin for two nights and didn't do very much - but I did go to Elephant Trunk Hill (Xiang Bi Shan) and enjoyed the natural environment. I also went to a bar in the night and made friends with a group of locals. On Tuesday I rode the bus to Yangshuo. Yangshuo is so beautiful...and I can see the river and the mountains while lying in bed! The food here is also quite good. One day I took a kayak (a small boat for one person) and went down the Li river for 3 hours. The next day, I went rock climbing - it was one of the most difficult things I've ever done, and so much fun. It's great to be outside and enjoying the fresh air. I'll have lots of photos to put on the blog when I get back, and I might put together a little movie. Speaking of movies...last week's movie club was amazing! The students wrote their own movie scenes, then directed other students to act in the scene, and then acted in other student's movie scenes! I was so impressed by all the students in the class, and I plan to do similar activities in the future. You guys are awesome =) Enjoy the Olympics! Go Team USA! =p Cheers, Jay

I miss all of you so much! Although I have left WJC center, I still miss everything here. I just started to work, so I am very busy these days. I hope I can come back to visit all of you soon. The new center stimulates me to study harder, because there are so many high level students there and I think I should learn from them. Also, I have to adapt to different kinds of accents there. Anyway, I wish every student could make progress in English and every teacher the best of luck in everything!
