What a different Suzhou we have experienced so far since returning in August. Last year e had relentless heat and 40deg for what seemed like an eternity. This year we have had much lower temperatures (mid to low 30s) and a lot of rain. In fact it has often felt like home there has been so much.
A new bunch of teachers and their families have arrived and the children and us are meeting new people which makes the moving on of friends a bit easier. It is a strange feeling knowing that many fiends that we spend time with are only temporary - this is the life on the International Teaching circuit. It does force us to make the most of opportunities otherwise we'd just miss out.
Mackenzie and Samuel are very settled in school this year. They know what to expect and didn't have to endure the creche at school which may have scared them for life last year. They are enjoying meeting new friends and there is a large group of friends who are always willing to play at our compound.
