Beach Boys

The school sponsored a trip to the beach on Saturday for the new teachers. It was GREAT! You can tell our boys had a blast.

The day was hot and clear and there was a nice ocean breeze. You can really see the rise in wealth for many Chinese families: they were enjoying para-sailing, a HUGE zip line (probably 100 metres long), nice open air restaurants, and souvenir shops.

We thought the container ship was a fitting South China contrast: recreation and industry always side by side in this hard-working and increasingly affluent nation.
