This is a link for a video of some of my kindergarten students being their delightful selves =) plus if you watch it lots I might win some money!

So let's begin with yesterday morning. We didn't stick to the timings as planned as I spent ages in the post office trying to collect my parcel. They were being fussy because I didn't have my passport with me.  Most annoying.
Eventually we set off for Shenzhen, carrying one rather heavy holdall between us. (Sorry Daddy!) There was nothing of interest about the journey. It took us a while to find our bus in Shenzhen, but we managed it eventually and hopped on. That was one long bus ride. It came as quite a surprise when we found ourselves on the road we needed to be on and missed our stop. Oh the joys. We headed straight to the irish bar, left the holdall in a corner (I almost left saying only "my dad will collect it soon") They remembered me from picking it up though so they understood.

We went for a very nice indian meal. I was spoilt for choice... I havn't seen such an extensive vegetarian section in far too long! Enough to say that I enjoyed my meal. Last night proved to be an expensive one, lots of food and drinks. We sat talking to some russian guys. 1 of them didn't speak any english at all but seemed quite happy to nod along and smile bless him. Then I lost the room key. We eventually returned to our room around half 5, just 45 minutes before our wake up call. Izzie had taken some persuading to leave as obviously she was enjoying herself far too much. Suffice to say we didn't make the ferry as planned.I was still up when the wake up call arrived so I went and had breakfast.I brought some back for Izzie but she was feelign a little worse for wear and didn't want to eat anything. I promptly feel asleep. We checked out at noon, much to the amusement of the clerk who was around when we had arrived that morning without a key. 

We got oursleves on the ferry to Hong Kong which did nothing to ease the queasiness of Izzie's tummy. The object of being here is to extend or get a new visa. However, they visa office said we shouldn't do this because of our current visa. We didn't understand what they thought we should do and now we are at a complete loss and have possibly made a fruitless yet expensive trip. I love wasting money, especially since I'm up to my ears in it. Phht.
Anywho, hopefully the TTC staff will get back to us asap and we will find a way round this little dilemma. =)
