Tomato restaurant
In my attempts to blog more faithfully, I am hereby blogging. :-)
Hello everyone! I hope that you have all had a wonderful weekend! Today was back to work for me. I enjoy the children so much that it doesn't really feel like "work", though. Plus, it was a short day - I only taught for three hours in the morning and then spent my afternoon lesson planning, talking with the school director and responding to email. So good!
Tonight Myra and I went out to a new "tomato" restaurant. Apparently everything in this restaurant has tomato in it, but it was a little hard to tell because the menu was entirely in Chinese and none of the workers really spoke any English. Usually we do okay in restaurants because we know how to order chicken or beef, but we had no idea for this tomato restaurant. The people at table next to us had an assortment of things - tofu with tomato, tomato juice, something that looked like spaghetti, tomato sauce on rice, etc. We (ahem) ended up "ordering" by gesturing to what looked good on the table next to us. I'm not sure what the people thought (oops). The food was REALLY, really good!! I ended up with green pasta and chicken in a cheese & fresh tomato sauce with a side of fresh tomato soup. It was a large meal and only cost about $5 US for the two of us. So delicious - we've both decided to come back again and next time we'll know which line to point to on the menu!
My team and I were going to go out and play some volleyball this evening but sadly our ball is flat and doesn't want to stay inflated. We'll have to find another ball sometime. Some on my team are really good at volleyball and and we all want to work on our skill so that we can take on the other teams come winter English camp time. Fun times...
That's all for now! Thanks everyone for your prayers! It was a good day.
Love,
Christy

Happy Birthday, Christy! (a little late) A tomato restaurant?! That sounds like something I could handle all right. :)

Thanks, April! If you come and visit me, I'll take you to that restaurant! :)
Have a great day!

Christy; you are so adventuresome on the food! Although tomato sounds pretty good, and seeing what other people have ordered is a good idea - I do that here! :)
