2nd Day in Uganda

Students lunched by the Nile River. Emily's arms are tired from holding all the wonderful children. They went to a feeding program where there were 300 children and then later to an orphanage. They will go to an orphanage with babies tomorrow.

Sites of China

After hardy breakfast this morning (both Chinese and American offerings), we heading out to the Temple of Heaven to see where Ancient China prayed to and thanked the gods for good weather and harvests. We began this visit with a lesson in Tai Chi (or taiji) where we learned the slow, contrasting movements that emphasized balance and opposition. We welcomed this opportunity to warm our already chilled bodies (temperatures were quite brisk and the wind could be brutal at times). We finished the morning with a tea tasting where we tried five varieties, almost all of which were delicious and sweeter than anticipated. We feasted on Chinese noodles and other tasty treats at lunch before focusing our attention on Tiananmen Square and the Forbidden City. Although we didn't see all 9,999 rooms, we did get a great impression of this imperial palace. Tomorrow we'll tour hutungs via richshaw, visit our exchange school and see the bell tour.

Ni hao from China

From Upper School French teacher Jenny Jervis:
After an hour de-icing delay in Newark, our 14-hour flight passed by without a glitch. Some of the lucky ones grabbed a few winks while the rest of us distracted ourselves with the numerous available films to while away the time. We are currently getting settled in our hotel and will leave shortly for dinner and then an early night to bed. After a good night's rest, we'll leave tomorrow at 9 a.m. for a Tai Chi lesson before visiting the Temple of Heaven, Tienanmen Square and the Forbidden City. Some of the girls may try to Skype tomorrow after a bit of rest. We're all quite excited to be here!
